Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

  When I was a young man I was led astray

  I met with a buddy down in Logy Bay

  we went out in all weather,

  we wore out our shoes,

  goin' up Kingsbridge road for a drink o' Booze

Chorus

  Drink her up, boys! it's well after ten

  Drink her up, boys! it's well after ten

some people say that the Pinky is fine

others will swear by a drop of moonshine

but as for myself I've a bottle of each

mixed in with a gallon of dipper and screech

Chorus

It's the old shaving lotion thats made me this way

sweeter than Pepsi and stronger then tea

and when in the evening when we're feeling fine

we stop into Jakey's for icons and 'shine

Chorus

It's the old shaving lotion that's made me this way

sweeter then pepsi an' stronger than tea

and when in the morning when I'm feelin' rough

I curse old Jakey who sold me this stuff

CHORUS x2....

"Take a two-four out the door!"

Da-da-da-da-da-da....

Ah,whiskey you're the devil, you're leadin' me astray

over hills and mountains and to Americay

you're nicer, stronger, decenter, you're spunkier than tea

oh, whiskey you're me darlin' drunk or sober
