Rye Whiskey

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If you don't give me rye
Whiskey I surely will die

If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom and never come up

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If you don't give me rye
Whiskey I surely will die

Way up on Clinch Mountain I wander alone
I'm drunk as the devil, just leave me alone

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, it's whiskey I cry
If you don't give me rye
Whiskey I surely will die

I'll eat when I'm hungry
I'll drink when I'm dry
If a tree don't fall on me
I'll live 'til I die

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, it's whiskey I cry
If you don't give me rye
Whiskey I surely will die

It's whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If you don't give me rye
Whiskey I surely will die
