I'd appreciate if somebody could post me the words. thanks. |

04 May 13 - 06:50 AM (#3511539) Subject: Lyr Add: JENNY GRAY'S WHISKEY (Silly Wizard) From: Georgiansilver 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. |

"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 |
