You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold
It's a whiskey you villain you've been my downfall
G7 C
You've kicked me you've cuffed me but I loves you for all
It's a whiskey rye whiskey rye whiskey I cry
G7 C
If I don't get rye whiskey well I think I will die
Beefsteak when I'm hungry red liquor when I'm dry
G7 C
Greenbacks when I'm hard up and religion when I die
I’ll a go to yonder holler and I’ll build me a still
G7 C
I’ll give you a gallon for a five dollar bill
Rye whiskey rye whiskey rye whiskey I cry
G7 C
If a tree don't fall on me I'll live till I die
If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck
G7 C
I'd dive to the bottom and never come up
But the ocean ain't whiskey and I ain't a no duck
G7 C
I’ll play Jack O’ Diamonds and trust to my luck
Rye whiskey rye whiskey rye whiskey I cry
