Oh, whiskey is the life of man
Always was since the world began
Oh, whiskey made me pawn my clothes
Oh, whiskey gave me a broken nose
Oh, whiskey is the life of man
Whiskey from an old tin can
If whiskey comes to near my nose
Well, it's up she comes and down she goes
Whiskey-o, Johnny-o
Rise her up from down below
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o
Up aloft this yard must go
John rise her up from down below
I thought I heard the old man say
"Well, I treats my crew in a decent way."
"Well, I treats my crew in a decent way."
Well, I give them whiskey twice a day
Whiskey-o, Johnny-o
Rise her up from down below
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o
Up aloft this yard must go
John rise her up from down below
Well, whiskey makes my friends my foes
Well, it makes us roar and makes us roll
Well, a glass of whiskey all around
And a bottle full for the shantyman
Whiskey-o, Johnny-o
Rise her up from down below
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o
Up aloft this yard must go
John rise her up from down below
Whiskey-o, Johnny-o
And we'll rise her up from down below
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o
Up aloft this yard must go
John rise her up from down below
