Rye Whiskey
Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds, I know you most of all
You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold
And whiskey, you villain, you've been my downfall
You've cuffed and you've kicked me but I loved you of old
Oh whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey I cried
If I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die
Well, I'd go on yonder mountain and build me a still
And I'd send you a gallon for five dollar bill
Well, it's beefcake when I'm hungry, whiskey when I'm dry
And it's greenbacks when I'm hard off and hell when I die
I said whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey I cried
If I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die
If the sea were made of whiskey and I was a duck
I'd swim to the bottom and never come up
Oh, but the sea ain't made of whiskey and I ain't a duck
So I play Jack of Diamonds and trust on my luck
I said whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey I cried
If I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die
I said whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cried
If I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die
Oh, if I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die
You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold
And whiskey, you villain, you've been my downfall
You've cuffed and you've kicked me but I loved you of old
Oh whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey I cried
If I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die
Well, I'd go on yonder mountain and build me a still
And I'd send you a gallon for five dollar bill
Well, it's beefcake when I'm hungry, whiskey when I'm dry
And it's greenbacks when I'm hard off and hell when I die
I said whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey I cried
If I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die
If the sea were made of whiskey and I was a duck
I'd swim to the bottom and never come up
Oh, but the sea ain't made of whiskey and I ain't a duck
So I play Jack of Diamonds and trust on my luck
I said whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey I cried
If I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die
I said whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cried
If I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die
Oh, if I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die
