Whiskey is the life of man,
Whiskey, Johnny!
O, whiskey is the life of man,
Whiskey for my Johnny
O, I drink whiskey when I can
I drink whiskey from an old tin can,
Whiskey gave me a broken nose!
Whiskey made me pawn my clothes
Whiskey drove me around Cape Horn.
It was many a month when I was gone
I thought I heard the old man say;
I’ll treat my crew in a decent way
A glass of grog for every man!
And a bottle for the Shanty man.
Whiskey fo0000000000000r my Johnny O!
