Carter, when Capt. Leighton Robinson (1871-1956) sang "Whiskey, Johnny" for Sidney Robertson Cowell in California in 1939, it went like this: Oh, whisky here and whiskey there, Whisky, Johnny! Oh, whisky here and whisky there, Whisky for me Johnny! [similarly:] Oh, I'll drink whisky when I can, Oh, I'll drink whisky while I can. Oh, whisky gave me a broken nose.... And whisky made me pawn my clothes.... Oh, if whisky were a river and I were a duck.... I'd swim around till I got blind drunk.... Oh, whisky landed me in jail.... Oh, whisky in an old tin pail.... (Robinson was at sea from 1885 to 1905.)
