Rye Whiskey
Jack o' Diamond, Jack o' Diamond and I know you of old
You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold
It's a whiskey, you villain, you've been my downfall
You've kicked me, you've cuffed me, but I love you for all
And it's a whiskey, rye whiskey
Whiskey I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey, well, I think I will die
It's a beefsteak when I'm hungry
Rye whiskey when I'm dry
Greenbacks when I'm hard up
Heaven when I die
I'll a-go to yonder holl-er
And I'll build me a still
I'll give you a gallon for a five dollar bill
Ha, whiskey, rye whiskey
Whiskey, I cry
If a tree don't fall on me
I'll live 'til I die
If the ocean was whiskey (ssss (hic))
and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom and never come (hic)
I meant to say "up"
Now the ocean ain't whiskey (hic)
I ain't a duck
I'll play Jack o' Diamond
And trust to my luck
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Whiskey, rye whiskey
Whiskey, I cry
If a whiskey don't kill me
I'll live 'til I die
You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold
It's a whiskey, you villain, you've been my downfall
You've kicked me, you've cuffed me, but I love you for all
And it's a whiskey, rye whiskey
Whiskey I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey, well, I think I will die
It's a beefsteak when I'm hungry
Rye whiskey when I'm dry
Greenbacks when I'm hard up
Heaven when I die
I'll a-go to yonder holl-er
And I'll build me a still
I'll give you a gallon for a five dollar bill
Ha, whiskey, rye whiskey
Whiskey, I cry
If a tree don't fall on me
I'll live 'til I die
If the ocean was whiskey (ssss (hic))
and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom and never come (hic)
I meant to say "up"
Now the ocean ain't whiskey (hic)
I ain't a duck
I'll play Jack o' Diamond
And trust to my luck
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Whiskey, rye whiskey
Whiskey, I cry
If a whiskey don't kill me
I'll live 'til I die
