| G | Cadd9 | G | |
| When | I was a young man I | was led astr | ay |
| Cadd9 | G | Cadd9 | D | G | |
| I | met with a | buddy | down in | Logy | Bay |
| G | |
| we went out in all weather, |
| Cadd9 | G | |
| we | wore out our s | hoes, |
| Cadd9 | G | D | |
| goin' | up Kingsbridge | road for a | drink o' Booze |
| CHORUS: |
| G | Cadd9 | G | |
| Drink her | up, boys! it's | well after | ten |
| G | D | G | |
| Drink her | up, boys! it's | well after | ten |
| G F|G F|G... |
| some people say that the Pinky is fine |
| others will swear by a drop of moonshine |
| but as for myself I've a bottle of each |
| mixed in with a gallon of dipper and screech |
| Chorus |
| It's the old shaving lotion thats made me this way |
| sweeter than Pepsi and stronger then tea |
| and when in the evening when we're feeling fine |
| we stop into Jakey's for icons and 'shine |
| Chorus |
| It's the old shaving lotion that's made me this way |
| sweeter then pepsi an' stronger than tea |
| and when in the morning when I'm feelin' rough |
| I curse old Jakey who sold me this stuff |
| CHORUS x2.... |
| "Take a two-four out the door!" |
| Da-da-da-da-da-da.... |
| Ah,whiskey you're the devil, you're leadin' me astray |
| over hills and mountains and to Americay |
| you're nicer, stronger, decenter, you're spunkier than tea |
| oh, whiskey you're me darlin' drunk or sober |
| fade over verse chords |
