Whiskey Johnny

	Another chantey, this gleaning from the Hubert Canfield Collection of 1926 is included here not for its bawdry, but for its scarcity.  

Whiskey is the life of man,
	Whiskey, Johnny!
I'll drink whiskey while I can,
	Whiskey for my Johnny!

Oh, whiskey straight and whiskey strong,
	Whiskey, Johnny!
Give me some whiskey and I'll sing you a song,
	Whiskey for my Johnny!

Oh, whiskey makes me wear old clothes,
	Whiskey, Johnny!
Wishek gave me a broken nose,
	Whiskey for my Johnny!

Whiskey killed my poor old dad,
	Whiskey, Johnny!
Whiskey drove my mother mad,
	Whiskey for my Johnny!

Is whiskey comes too near my nose,
	Whiskey, Johnny!
I tip it up and down she goes,
	Whiskey for my Johnny!

I had a girl, her name was Lize,
	Whiskey, Johnny!
She puts whiskey in her pies,
	Whiskey for my Johnny!

My wife and I cannot agree,
	Whiskey, Johnny!
She puts whiskey in her tea,
	Whiskey for my Johnny!

Here comes the cook with the whiskey can,
	Whiskey, Johnny!
A glass of grog for every many,
	Whiskey for my Johnny!

A glass of grog for every man,
	Whiskey, Johnny!
And a bottle full for the chanteyman,
	Whiskey for my Johnny!
