Ewan MacColl and A. L. Lloyd - Whiskey Johnny текст песни

Whiskey, Johnnie (Traditional - Lyrics from Capstan Bars, by David Bone)

Oh! Whiskey is the life of man.
Whis-key! John-nie!
Oh, I'll drink whiskey when I can,
Oh, whis-key for my John-nie!

'Twas whiskey made me pawn my clo'es.
Whis-key! John-nie!
An' whiskey got me a broken nose.
Oh, whis-key for my John-nie!

Oh, whiskey drove my mother mad.
Whis-key! John-nie!
An' whiskey nearly killed my dad.
Oh, whis-key for my John-nie!

Oh, whiskey here, an' whiskey there.
Whis-key! John-nie!
An' I'd drink whiskey anywhere.
Oh, whis-key for my John-nie!

Oh, some likes gin an' some likes beer.
Whis-key! John-nie!
I wissht I had a barrel here.
Oh, whis-key for my John-nie!

If whiskey was a river, an' I could swim.
Whis-key! John-nie!
I'd say "here goes" an' dive right in.
Oh, whis-key for my John-nie!

Whisky for my Johnny (Traditional - Lyrics from Iron Men & Wooden Ships, by Frank Shay)

Oh, whisky is the life of man,
Whisky, Johnny!
I drink whisky when I can,
Oh, whisky for my Johnny!

Whisky from an old tin can,
Whisky, Johnny!
I'll drink whisky when I can,
Oh, whisky for my Johnny!

I drink it hot, I drink it cold,
Whisky, Johnny!
I drink it new, I drink it old,
Oh, whisky for my Johnny!

Whisky makes me feel so sad,
Whisky, Johnny!
Whisky killed my poor old dad,
Oh, whisky for my Johnny!

Whiskey Johnny (Traditional - Lyrics from Songs of American Sailormen, by Joanna Colcord)

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

Oh whiskey straight and whiskey strong,
Give me some whiskey and I'll sing you a song.

O whiskey makes me wear old clo'es,
Whiskey gave me a broken nose.

Whiskey killed my poor old dad,
Whiskey druv my mother mad.

If whiskey comes too near my nose,
I tip it up and down she goes.

I had a girl, her name was Lize,
She puts whiskey in her pies.

My wife and I can not agree;
She puts whiskey in her tea.

Here comes the cook with the whiskey can,
A glass of grog for every man.

A glass of grog for every man,
And a bottle full for the shantyman.
