lyrics

Whiskey is the life of man, Whiskey Johnny. I'll drink Whiskey, when I can. Whiskey for Johnny. Whiskey killed my Dad, it drove my Mother mad Whiskey Johnny.

Whiskey here and whiskey there, Whiskey Johnny. I'll drink Whiskey everywhere. Whiskey for Johnny. Whiskey stout and strong, drink it all night long Whiskey Johnny.

Whiskey up and whiskey down, Whiskey Johnny. Whiskey all over the town. Whiskey for Johnny. Whiskey killed my Dad, it drove my mother mad Whiskey Johnny.

Whiskey gets too near my nose, Whiskey Johnny. I tip it up and down it goes, Whiskey for Johnny. Whiskey stout and strong, drink it all night long Whiskey Johnny.

Whiskey is the life of man, Whiskey Johnny. Drink it from an old tin can, Whiskey for Johnny. Whiskey killed my Dad, it drove my mother mad Whiskey Johnny.

Whiskey made me pawn my clothes, Whiskey Johnny. Whiskey gave me this broken nose, Whiskey for Johnny. Whiskey stout and strong, drink it all night long Whiskey Johnny.
