The Longest Johns - Whisky Is the Life of Man Lyrics

Oh, whisky is the life of man
Always was since the world began
Oh, whisky made me pawn me clothes
Oh, whisky gave me a broken nose

Oh, whisky is the life of man
A whisky from an old tin can
If whisky comes too near my nose
Well it's up she comes, and down she goes

Whisky-o, Johnny-o
Rise her up from down below
Whisky, whisky, whisky-o
Up aloft this yard must go
John rise her up from down below

I thought I heard the old man say
(I thought I heard the old man say)
Well I treat my crew in a decent way
(I treat my crew in a decent way)
Well I treat my crew in a decent way
(I treat my crew in a decent way)
Well I give them whisky twice a day
(Twice a day)

Whisky-o, Johnny-o
Rise her up from down below
Whisky, whisky, whisky-o
Up aloft this yard must go
John rise her up from down below

Well whisky makes my friends my foes
And It makes us roar and makes it us roll
Well a glass of whisky all around
And a bottle for the shanty man

Whisky-o, Johnny-o
Rise her up from down below
Whisky, whisky, whisky-o
Up aloft this yard must go
John rise her up from down below

Whisky-o, Johnny-o
We'll rise her up from down below
Whisky, whisky, whisky-o
Up aloft this yard must go
John rise her up from down below
