Cave Nick Rye Whiskey Lyrics

Rye Whiskey Lyrics

Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds, I know you most of all

 You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold

 And Whiskey, you villain, you've been my down-fall

 You've cuffed and you've kicked me but I loved you of old

 

 

 Oh Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, Whiskey I cried

 If I don't get rye Whiskey I surely will die

 

 

 Well I go yonder mountain and build me a still

 And I send you a gallon for a five dollar bill

 Well it's beefcake when I'm hungry, Whiskey when I'm dry

 And it's greenbacks when I'm hard off and hell when I die

 

 

 If the sea were made of Whiskey and I was a duck

 I'd swim to the bottom and never come up

 Oh, but the sea ain't made of Whiskey and I ain't a duck

 So I play Jack Of Diamonds and trust on my luck
