Irish Whiskey Love Song

If the Jordan ran with whiskey I'd be baptized every day
I'd will myself to grow some gills and I would swim away
The preacher says I'm bound for hell, but my prayers keep him at bay
Oh Irish Whiskey hold me close no matter where I stray

Well I once had a lady, lady name of May
Hey yah, sing my song Hey yah, all the day long
She walked the straight and narrow, no never did she stray
Hey yah, all the day long Irish Whiskey Love Song

Well I've never seen a sight as sweet as this
A double shot of peace of mind's, my lover and my friend
And I may never see St Peter and his pearly gates
Oh father give me peace. Heaven's just a double shot away

She took me to a house of prayer to get me on my knees
I asked that priest to pour a drink, a double if you please

I pulled into the habor a week and three days hence
I met that dock so fleet a'foot you'd ne'er see where I went
I'll live I ain't seen that ship with heart as black as flint
And when I board her once again my money'll all be spent
