Whiskey for My Johnie

Oh whiskey is the life of man
     O whiskey, Johnny!
I'll drink whiskey when I can,
     O Whiskey for my Johnny!

I'll drink whiskey when I can
Whiskey from an old tin can.

I drink it hot, I drink it cold
I drink it new, I drink it old.

Whiskey makes me feel so glad
Whiskey killed my dear old dad.

Whiskey made me mother cry
Of whiskey she was always shy.

I like my whiskey hot and strong
I'll drink whiskey all day long.
