Whiskey Is the Life of Man - Bellowhead

Whiskey is the life of man

Whiskey from an old tin can

I like whiskey hot and strong

And I'll drink whiskey all day long

Whiskey oh johnny oh rise it up from down below

Whiskey oh johnny oh rise it up from down below

Whiskey oh johnny oh whiskey whiskey whiskey oh

Up aloft this yard must go

Come rise him up from down below

I'll drink it hot I'll drink it cold

I'll drink it new I'll drink it old

Some like whiskey some like beer

I wish I had a barrel here

Whiskey oh johnny oh rise it up from down below

Whiskey oh johnny oh rise it up from down below

Whiskey oh johnny oh whiskey whiskey whiskey oh

Up aloft this yard must go

Come rise him up from down below

Whiskey killed my sister sue

And whiskey killed my brother too

Whiskey killed my poor old dad

And whiskey drove my mother mad

Whiskey oh johnny oh rise it up from down below

Whiskey oh johnny oh rise it up from down below

Whiskey oh johnny oh whiskey whiskey whiskey oh

Up aloft this yard must go

Come rise him up from down below

If whiskey comes to near my nose

It's up she comes and down she goes

A glass of grog for every man

And a bottle full for the shanty man

Whiskey oh johnny oh rise it up from down below

Whiskey oh johnny oh rise it up from down below

Whiskey oh johnny oh whiskey whiskey whiskey oh

Up aloft this yard must go

Come rise him up from down below
