GUEST,Phil d'Conch Lyr Add: Whiskey, Johnny (12) RE: Lyr Add: Whiskey, Johnny 21 Sep 23


Bits of Brand and Darling:

“A favorite and familiar pulling song is Whiskey for my Johnny:––
        Whiskey is the life of man,
                Whiskey-Johnny!
        We'll drink our whiskey while we can,
                Whiskey for my Johnny!

        I drink whiskey, and my wife driks gin,
                                        Chorus.
        The way she drinks it is a sin,
                                        Chorus.
        I and my wife cannot agree,
                                        Chorus.
        For she drinks whiskey in her tea,
                                        Chorus.
        I had a girl; her name was Lize,
                                        Chorus.
        And she put whiskey in her pies,
                                        Chorus.
        Whiskey's gone, and I'll go too,
                                        Chorus.
        For without whiskey I can't do, etc.”
[Williams, Alfred M., American Sea Songs, The Atlantic Monthly, vol.69, no.414, April, 1892]

Note: And too many others to list.
