Subject: Lyr Add: Whiskey Is The Devil (In Liquid Form)
Unrelated, but a similar enough name: Whiskey Is The Devil (In Liquid Form). The message is very subtle, no?

WHISKEY IS THE DEVIL (IN LIQUID FORM)

See that man walking over yonder
See his clothes all ragged and worn
He's led a drunkard's life, he's headed for destruction
Whiskey is the devil in liquid form

Worried wives, gray-haired mothers
Into this life helpless children are born
Just because of that bar down the corner
Whiskey is the devil in liquid form

Take a visit to most any prison
See the prisoners sad and forlorn
The most of them will say that drinking caused it
Whiskey is the devil in liquid form

Strong drink is the devil's greatest weapon
In the Holy Bible we are warned
The drunkard's grave is the promise for a drunkard
Whiskey is the devil in liquid form

Worried wives, gray-haired mothers
Into this life helpless children are born
Just because of that bar down the corner
Whiskey is the devil in liquid form
