Rye Whiskey

Rye Whiskey -Tex Ritter

Jack o ＇Diamonds

Jack o ＇Diamonds and I know you of old

You ＇ve robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold

It ＇s a whiskey you villain

You ＇ve been my downfall

You ＇ve kicked me you ＇ve cuffed me

But I love you for all

It ＇s a whiskey rye whiskey rye whiskey I cry

If I don ＇t get rye whiskey well I think I will die

I ＇ll eat when I ＇m hungry

I ＇ll drink when I ＇m dry

If the hard times don ＇t kill me

I ＇ll lay down and die

I ＇ll tune up my fiddle and

I ＇ll rosin my bow

I ＇ll make myself welcome wherever I go

Rye whiskey rye whiskey rye whiskey I cry

If a tree don ＇t fall on me I ＇ll live till I die

If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck

I ＇d dive to the bottom

To get one sweet suck

But the ocean ain ＇t

Whiskey and I ain ＇t a duck

So we ＇ll round up the cattle

And then we ＇ll get drunk

Rye whiskey rye whiskey rye whiskey I cry

If the whiskey don ＇t kill me I ＇ll live till I die
