When I was a young lad I was let astray
I met with a body down in Logy Bay
We went out in a weather
And wore out our shoes
And up Kingsway road for a drink or two
Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten
Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten
Some people they say that the pinky is fine
Others will swear by a drop of moonshine
But as for myself I'm a bottle of each
Mixed up with a gallon of dipper or screech
Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten
Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten
It's an old shavin' lotion that's made me this way
Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea
And when in the evening when we're feeling fine
We'll stop into Jakey's for icon and shine
Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten
Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten
It's an old shavin' lotion that's made me this way
Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea
And when in the morning when I'm feeling rough
I curse, ol' Jakey who sold me this stuff
Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten
Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten
Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten
Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten

Oh! Whiskey, you're the devil, you're leading me astray
Over the hills and mountains and to Americay
You're sweet, you're strong, you're decent
Much spunkier than tay
Oh, whiskey you're me darlin', drunk or sober
Oh! Whiskey, you're the devil, you're leading me astray
Over the hills and mountains and to Americay
You're sweet, you're strong, you're decent
Much spunkier than tay
Oh, whiskey you're me darlin', drunk or sober
