I'm looking for the words to "Whiskey you're my darlin'... " not 'Whiskey you're the devil" but sung to the same tune. Any thoughts?

Tim, This is "Whiskey you're the devil" but years ago I ran across different words: "Whiskey you're my darlin' you wear a gold crown, whiskey you're my darlin' come dance me round & round...."

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
