Thread Name: Tune Req: Drunken Hiccups / Hiccup Oh Lordy 78?
Subject: Drunken Hiccups 78 / Huckleberry Hunting?
I never have found the exact 78 that my great-grandfather had of this song "Drunken Hiccups." His daughter sang part of it for me one time, and if I could find the version that had a line that she sang, I'm sure that would be the version he had. That line is "thousand quart bottles I've emptied in time." Anyone know a version of this song with that line? I've collected several versions over the years but not with this line. ALSO, his daughter stated that he yodeled the song. Anyone know of a yodeling version of this one?

My great-aunt sang this:
Hiccup oh Lordy, how bad I do feel
Hiccup oh Lordy, how bad I do feel
Sometime I drink whiskey
Sometime I drink wine
Thousand quart bottles I've emptied in time
Hiccup oh Lordy, how bad I do feel
Hiccup oh Lordy, how bad I do feel
