Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey I cryyy- 
If I don't get Rye Whiskey, I surely will die- 
If the ocean was Whiskey and I was a duck, 
I'd swim to the bottom and never come up- 
I'd swim to the bottom and never come up- 
Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey I cryyy 
If I don't get Rye Whiskey, I surely will die! 
I live on Clintch Mountain and Wander Alone, 
As drunk as the Devil, so leave me alone 
I'm as drunk as the Devil, so leave me alone- 
Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey I cryyy 
If I don't get Rye Whiskey I surely will die! 
I eat when I'm hungry and I drink when I'm dry and 
If that tree don't fall on me- 
I live til' I die! 
If a tree don't fall on me, I live til I die- 
Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey I cryyy 
If I don't get Rye Whiskey I surely will die 
If I don't get Rye Whiskey,,... 
I surely will die.
