Gaelic Storm - Whiskey Johnny lyrics
[Gaelic Storm - Whiskey Johnny lyrics]
Rise her up from down below
Oh, whiskey is the life of man
Always was since the world began
Oh, whiskey made me pawn my clothes
Whiskey gave me a broken nose
Whiskey, oh, Johnny, oh
Rise her up from down below
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, oh
Up aloft this yard must go
John, rise her up from down below
Whiskey killed me poor old dad
Whiskey drove me mother mad
Whiskey, oh, Johnny, oh
Rise her up from down below
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, oh
Up aloft this yard must go
John, rise her up from down below
And it's whiskey from an old tin can
Whiskey for the shanty man
It's whiskey here, whiskey there
Whiskey almost everywhere
Whiskey, oh, Johnny, oh
Rise her up from down below
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, oh
Up aloft this yard must go
John, rise her up from down below oh
I thought I heard the first mate say
"I treats me crew in a decent way"
It's whiskey up and whiskey down
A glass of whiskey all around
Whiskey, oh, Johnny, oh
Rise her up from down below
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, oh
Up aloft this yard must go
John, rise her up from down below
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey, oh
Up aloft this yard must go
John, rise her up from down below
Oh, whiskey is the life of man
Always was since the world began
