Rye Whiskey
'Way up on Clinch Mountain, I wandered alone I'm drunk as the devil and a long ways from home I'll eat when I'm hungry and drink when I'm dry If a tree don't' fall on me, I'll live 'til I die
Jack o' diamonds, jack o' diamonds, I knowed you of old You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold Rye whiskey, oh, rye whiskey, rye whiskey, I cry If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die
If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I'd dive to the bottom and drink my way up 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
Your parents don't like me, they say I'm too poor They say I'm not worthy to enter your door My foot's in the stirrup, my bridle's in my hand Farewell, my sweet Lulu, I'm a-leavin' this land
