Oh, whiskey is the life of man
Whiskey, Johnny
Oh, whiskey is the life of man
Whiskey for me Johnny
Oh, whiskey killed me poor old dad
Whiskey, Johnny
And whiskey drove me mother mad
Whiskey for me Johnny
Oh, whiskey made me tear my clothes
Whiskey, Johnny
And whiskey gave me this red nose
Whiskey for me Johnny
Oh, I drink whiskey when I can
Whiskey, Johnny
Oh, whiskey from an old tin can
Whiskey for me Johnny
Oh, whiskey straight and whiskey strong
Whiskey, Johnny
You give me grog, I'll give you a song
Whiskey for me Johnny
I thought I heard the old man say
"Whiskey, Johnny"
I'll treat my crew in a decent way
Whiskey for me Johnny
A glass of grog for every man
Whiskey, Johnny
And a bottle for the shantyman
Whiskey for me Johnny
Oh, whiskey is the life of man
Whiskey, Johnny
Oh, I drink whiskey when I can
Whiskey for me Johnny
