Whiskey John he lives up on that hill
Whiskey John he lives up on that hill
He ain't drunk himself to death, lord, he's livin' there still
He said I sure ain't got a nickel to my name
He said I sure ain't got a nickel to my name
But if I had one I'd ride that westbound just the same
Hump in his pocket and the skipper done seen his face
Hump in his pocket and the skipper done seen his face
Sittin' in the weeds 'til the big bull's gone away
He says you ain't got dollar can you give me a ride to town
He says you ain't got dollar can you give me a ride to town
I'll just take a look and ride that bus back down
Sittin' 'neath the bridge where the fire burns all night long
Sittin' 'neath the bridge where the fire burns all night long
Whisky John ain't drunk but he won't be sober long
