Lyrics
O, whiskey is the life of man, Whiskey, Johnny! I drink whiskey when I can. Whiskey for my Johnny O! Whiskey killed my poor old dad. Whiskey, Johnny! And whiskey drove my mother mad. Whiskey for my Johnny O! Whiskey killed my borther Ben, Whiskey, Johnny! It always was since the world began. Whiskey for my Johnny O! I took my gal to a whiskey mill, Whiskey, Johnny! We drank whiskey and I gave her my fill. Whiskey for my Johnny O! Whiskey from an old tin can, Whiskey, Johnny! I'll drink whiskey when I can. Whiskey for my Johnny O! I drink it hot, I drink it cold, Whiskey, Johnny! I drink it new, I drink it old. Whiskey for my Johnny O! Whiskey up and whiskey down. Whiskey, Johnny! And whiskey all around the town. Whiskey for my Johnny O! Oh whiskey here and whiskey there. Whiskey, Johnny! Oh I'll have whiskey everywhere. Whiskey for my Johnny O! I'll drink whiskey when I'm in a noose. Whiskey, Johnny! And I'll drink whiskey with Dr. Seuss Whiskey for my Johnny O! A glass of grog for every man, Whiskey, Johnny! And a bottle full for the shanteyman. Whiskey for my Johnny O! Come along bullies and pull with a will Whiskey, Johnny! We're almost through. We can go it still. Whiskey for my Johnny O! Background: This is an old long drag shanty that I modified to suit my needs. KEY G verse: G G C G G G G C G D G G D G chorus: G G C G G G G G D G G D G
