Rye whisky, rye whisky, rye whisky, l cry
If you don't give me rye whisky, I surely will die

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

Rye whisky, rye whisky, rye whisky, l cry
If you don't give me rye whisky, I surely will die

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

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

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