Whiskey is the life of man,
It's been that way since the world began
Well I like Whiskey Hot and Strong
And I'll drink Whiskey all night long
Whiskey oh and Johnny oh,
Rise her up from down below,
Whiskey oh and Johnny oh,
Rise her up from down below,
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey oh!
Little Up this yard must go,
John, rise her up from down below!
Well Whiskey here and Whiskey there
Well Whiskey almost anywhere
Well Whiskey Up and Whiskey Down
And Whiskey all around the town
Whiskey oh and Johnny oh,
Rise her up from down below,
Whiskey oh and Johnny oh,
Rise her up from down below,
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey oh!
Little Up this yard must go,
John, rise her up from down below!
(Short fiddler Solo)
Some likes Whiskey somes likes beer
Well I wish I had a barrell here
Oh Whiskey straight and Whiskey strong
Pour your Whiskey I'll sing a song
Whiskey oh and Johnny oh,
Rise her up from down below,
Whiskey oh and Johnny oh,
Rise her up from down below,
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey oh!
Little Up this yard must go,
John, rise her up from down below!
IF Whiskey was river and I could swim
Well I'd say here goes and dive right in
If Whiskey was a river and I was a duck
Well I'd dive to the bottom and NEVER COME UP!
Whiskey oh and Johnny oh,
Rise her up from down below,
Whiskey oh and Johnny oh,
Rise her up from down below,
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey oh!
Little Up this yard must go,
John, rise her up from down below!
Well if Whiskey comes to near my nose
Well I tip it up and down she goes
I wish I knew where Whiskey grew
I'd eat the leaves and branches too!
Whiskey oh and Johnny oh,
Rise her up from down below,
Whiskey oh and Johnny oh,
Rise her up from down below,
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey oh!
Little Up this yard must go,
John, rise her up from down below!
