Whisky Is the Life of Man

Lyrics

[Intro, distorted] Oh, whiskey is the life of man Always was since the world began Oh, whiskey made me pawn my clothes Oh, whiskey gave me a broken nose [Verse 1] Oh, whiskey is the life of man Whiskey from an old tin can If whiskey comes to near my nose Well, it's up she comes and down she goes [Chorus] Whiskey-o, Johnny-o Rise her up from down below Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o Up aloft this yard must go John rise her up from down below [Verse 2] I thought I heard the old man say "Well, I treats my crew in a decent way." "Well, I treats my crew in a decent way." Well, I give them whiskey twice a day [Chorus] Whiskey-o, Johnny-o Rise her up from down below Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o Up aloft this yard must go John rise her up from down below [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 3] Well, whiskey makes my friends my foes Well, it makes us roar and makes us roll Well, a glass of whiskey all around And a bottle full for the shantyman [Chorus] Whiskey-o, Johnny-o Rise her up from down below Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o Up aloft this yard must go John rise her up from down below Whiskey-o, Johnny-o And we'll rise her up from down below Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o Up aloft this yard must go John rise her up from down below
