Whiskey Is the Life of Man

Oh whiskey is the life of man
Always was since the world began

(after each verse):
Whiskey-o, Johnny-o
Rise her up from down below
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o
Up aloft this yard must go
John rise her up from down below

Oh whiskey made me pawn me clothes
Whiskey gave me a broken nose

I thought I heard the first mate say
I treats me crew in a decent way

Oh whiskey is the life of man
Whiskey from an old tin can

A glass of whiskey all around
And a bottle full for the shanty man
