Whiskey to Gin, Where have You Been?

 

Whiskey is the life of man

Whiskey from an old tin can

Whiskey-O

Rise her up from down bellow.

Stay away from me 'cause I'm in my sin.
Stay away from me 'cause I'm in my sin.
If this place gets raided, it's just me and my gin.
Don't try me nobody, oh, you will never win.
Don't try me nobody 'cause you will never win.
I'll fight the army, ...
