Oh, it's a Belafonte song:
WHISKEY YOU'RE ME DARLING (as recorded by the Belafonte Folk Singers)
Whiskey you're me darling and you wear a golden crown Oh, whiskey you're me darling so come dance me 'round and 'round You're strong, you're sweet, you're decent, and you'll never let me down Oh, whiskey you're me darling drunk or sober
Oh, whiskey is a friend of man, it's always been since time began, When whiskey gets to near me nose, I tip her up and down she goes
Whiskey you're me darling and you wear a golden crown Oh, whiskey you're me darling so come dance me 'round and 'round You're strong, you're sweet, you're decent, and you'll never let me down Oh, whiskey you're me darling drunk or sober Yes, whiskey you're me darling drunk or sober
If I had cows that gave such milk, I'll dress them up in the finest silk, I'd feed them up on oats and hay, and milk them twenty times a day
Whiskey you're me darling and you wear a golden crown Oh, whiskey you're me darling so come dance me 'round and 'round You're strong, you're sweet, you're decent, and you'll never let me down Oh, whiskey you're me darling drunk or sober Yes, whiskey you're me darling drunk or sober
So here's to the river of whiskey, so deep so crystal clear, But half so sweet as kisses, but surely more sincere
Whiskey you're me darling and you wear a golden crown Oh, whiskey you're me darling so come dance me 'round and 'round You're strong, you're sweet, you're decent, and you'll never let me down Oh, whiskey you're me darling drunk or sober Yes, whiskey you're me darling drunk or sober
