Rye Whiskey

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Oh Whiskey, Rye Whiskey Whiskey I cried If I don't get rye Whiskey I surely will die [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] I said Whiskey, Rye Whiskey Whiskey I cried If I don't get rye Whiskey I surely will die [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] I said Whiskey, Rye Whiskey Whiskey I cried If I don't get rye Whiskey I surely will die I said Whiskey, Rye Whiskey Whiskey I cried If I don't get rye Whiskey I surely will die If I don't get rye Whiskey I surely will die
