Young Folk – Whiskey O (Live Version) Lyrics

Whiskey is the life of man
Always was since the world began

Whiskey O, Johnny O
Rise her up from down below
Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey O
Up aloft this yard must go
Rise her up from down below

Whiskey here and whiskey there
Whiskey almost everywhere
Whiskey up and whiskey down
Whiskey all around the town

Whiskey O, Johnny O
Rise her up from down below
Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey O
Up aloft this yard must go
Rise her up from down below

I like whiskey hot and strong
I'll drink whiskey all day long
Whiskey made me mother cry
Of whiskey she was always shy

Whiskey O, Johnny O
Rise her up from down below
Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey O
Up aloft this yard must go
Rise her up from down below

Champagne is good and so is rum
And beer is good enough for some
I'll drink it hot, I'll drink it cold
I'll drink it new, I'll drink it old

Whiskey O, Johnny O
Rise her up from down below
Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey O
Up aloft this yard must go
Rise her up from down below

Whiskey killed me poor old dad
Whiskey drove me mother mad
Whiskey killed my sister Sue
Whiskey killed my brother too

Whiskey O, Johnny O
Rise her up from down below
Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey O
Up aloft this yard must go
Rise her up from down below

Well some like whiskey, some like beer
I wish I had a barrel here
If whiskey comes to near my nose
I'll tip it up and down it goes

Whiskey O, Johnny O
Rise her up from down below
Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey O
Up aloft this yard must go
Rise her up from down below

Whiskey made me pawn my clothes
Whiskey gave me a broken nose
Whiskey made me sell my coat
Whiskey's what keeps me afloat

Whiskey O, Johnny O
Rise her up from down below
Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey O
Up aloft this yard must go
Rise her up from down below
