Whiskey Johnny

Whiskey, Johnny

1. Whiskey is the life of Man,
   Whiskey, Johnny!
   Oh, I’ll drink whiskey while I can:
   Whiskey for my Johnny!
2. Oh, whiskey is the life of man, Whiskey, Johnny!
   It always was since the world began: Whiskey for my Johnny!
3. Oh, whiskey straight and whiskey strong,
   If you gi’me some whiskey I’ll sing you a song:
4. If whiskey comes to near my nose,
   I tip it up and down she goes:
5. Whiskey took my brains away,
   One more pull, and then belay:
6. Whiskey makes me feel so sad,
   Whiskey killed my poor old Dad:
7. Whiskey makes me pawn my clothes,
   Whiskey gave me a broken nose:
8. I had a girl, her name was Lize,
   She puts whiskey in her pies:
9. Here comes the cook with the whiskey can,
   A gloss of grog for every man:
   10.A glass of grog for every man,
   And a bottle full for the shantyman:
   11.Oh Captain, Captain, will you tell me true,
   Will you tell me true where you get your crew:
   12.Come along there bullies, and pull with a will,
   We are almost through, but we can go it still:
   Whiskey for my Johnny!
