(Traditional - Arr. GBS)
2
When I was a young man I was let astray
3
I met with a body down in Logy Bay
4
We went out in a weather
5
We wore out our shoes,
6
And up Kingsway road for a drink or two
7
CHORUS:
8
Drink 'er up boys its well after ten
9
Drink 'er up boys its well after ten

Some people say that the pinky is fine
11
Others will swear by a drop of moonshine
12
But as for myself I'm a bottle of each,

CHORUS
15
Its the old shavin' lotion thats made me this way
16
Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea
17
And when in the evening when we're feeling fine
18
We'll stop into Jakey's for icon and shine

CHORUS
20

CHORUS (x2)
25
Oh, whisky you're the devil
26
You're leading me astray
27
Over hills and mountains
28
And to Amerikay
29

30
Oh, whisky you're my darling drunk or sober
