Bad liquor, bad liquor
Who took the good out of the bottle 
Salt water, salt water
---- 
The moon, that moon 
It's the saddest bugger of them all 
Bad liquor, bad liquor 
At the bottom of Niagara Falls 

Bad liquor, bad liquor 
It's pulling my strings tonight 
Salt water, salt water 
There's nothing that I do right
And all you people, you people 
You're the luckiest people of all 
Bad liquor, bad liquor 
At the bottom of Niagara Falls

Bad liquor, bad liquor 
It's pulling my strings tonight 
Salt water, salt water 
There's nothing that I do right
