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
