One of the best known halliard chanteys. One version is in DT Heard by Capt. David A McLeod (1857-1940) in the 1870s ("Cape Breton Captain," [1992, but apparently written ca1930]): Oh Whiskey is the life of man, Whiskey Johnny I thought I heard the old man say Whiskey for my Johnny For we are bound away this very day Whiskey Johnny A dollar a day is a white man's pay Whiskey for my Johnny Oh stretch her belt and show her clew Whiskey Johnny For we are the boys to put her through Whiskey for my Johnny The whiskey is gone what shall I do Whiskey Johnny Oh whiskey's gone and I'll go too Whiskey for my Johnny (Half made up of floating verses.)
