Rum Rebellion - Liquor Of Life
...
I am a man of thirty-six years upon this earth
I first tasted whiskey not long after my birth
A remedy for teething to numb away the pain
And ever since then I've had whiskey on the brain
And when I was fifteen I started in to drink
I took a shot or ten then I threw up in the sink
But, no that didn't stop me, no it only urged me on
It started me down the path singing this song
CHORUS:
Drink 'til I, drink 'til I, drink 'til I drop
Never should, never could, never will I stop
It's been with me thru misery, thru suffering and thru strife
So pour me some whiskey, that liquor of life
Now no excuse be needed to hit up on the booze
Just pass me that bottle, there's nothing left to lose
A day that's not spent drinking is a day I'll soon regret
Cuz' booze staves off the ghosts of things I'd rather forget
At first it was a drink or two, now it's nine or ten
I'm awaiting the day that I wind up in the pen
For crazy things start happening when I drink on the sauce
I start working for the devil with a bottle as my boss
And then I'll die a pauper layin' in a shallow grave
For I'll spend every penny on the whiskey I now crave
The Bourbon, Canadian, Irish, and the Scotch
Til' it chews up my liver and my brain starts to rot
