Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Jenny Gray's Whiskey From: sciencegeek Date: 22 Sep 15 - 06:47 AM a fine song that i fell in love with many moons ago... learned by heating it sung by Andy... and folk processed by a combination of poor hearing & memory lol but still pretty close to Georgiansilver and the same timeframe... glad I stumbled into this thread |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Jenny Gray's Whiskey From: Jim McLean Date: 04 May 13 - 09:20 AM "There are many advertisements from the 1900s for both "Scotch whiskey" and "Irish whisky", and the Royal Commision on Whiskey 1908-09 includes the 'e' throughout its definition." "Maker's Mark, a Bourbon from Kentucky, and George Dickel, a Tennessee whisky, both drop the 'e'; Paddy from Cork only adopted the 'e' in 1966. The spelling is by convention, not by law" From Charles MacLean's Miscellany of Whisky 2004 |
Subject: Lyr Add: JENNY GRAY'S WHISKEY (Silly Wizard) From: Georgiansilver Date: 04 May 13 - 06:50 AM I used to sing this in the early Eighties.... and the lyrics I used are as follows:- 1, One Sunday morn as I rode out, Wi the road being dark and dusty O, A friend and I stepped into an inn For a horn o' Jenny Gray's whiskey O. CHORUS: And her gin she keeps, that royal brew, And the best of all Scots whiskey too. No cordial cure is half so pure As a horn o' Jenny Gray's whiskey O. 2. Now there's some that likes tae quarrel and fight, Whenever they get tipsy O, Ah, but gie me a lass and a full flowing glass. Of a horn o' Jenny Gray's whiskey O. CHORUS 3. So come all you misers great and small, For your gold has gotten dusty O. Don't sit and think, but come and drink Of a horn o' Jenny Gray's whiskey O. CHORUS X 2 And when I found that version..... not sure where I got it from but I know it's a very old song.... it explained that the Whisky was called 'Scots' Whisky in the days the song was written (I think soon after The Battle of Culloden) and not 'Scotch' as it is now. Best wishes, Mike. |
