Rye Whiskey / Time to Switch to Whiskey

[00:03.96] "Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey," I cried
[00:08.28] If I don't get rye whiskey, well, I think I may die
[00:12.10] I'm gonna go up yon holler, I'm gonna build me a still
[00:15.88] And I'll sell you a gallon for a five-dollar bill
[00:19.50] Well if the oceans was whiskey and I was a duck
[00:23.63] I'd swim to the bottoms and never come up
[00:27.11] But the oceans ain't whiskey, and I ain't no duck
[00:31.22] So I'll play the jack of diamonds and trust to my luck
[00:34.99] Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds, I know you'll hold
[00:38.91] You dried my poor pockets of silver and gold
[00:42.66] Well, it's beefsteak when I'm hungry, rye whiskey when I'm dry
[00:46.66] And greenbacks when I'm hard up and Heaven when I die
[00:50.35] "Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey," I cried
[00:54.45] If I don't get rye whiskey, well, I think I may die
[00:58.18] Well, my horses ain't hungry, and they don't want your hay
[01:05.13] So fare thee well, darlin', and I'll be on my way
[01:09.13] Here's to it, folks
[01:10.51]
[01:19.03] Hey!
[01:19.57]
[01:27.68] Well, I like a full-bodied lager as much as the next hard-working man
[01:31.64] And the taste of suds while dealin' stud I can surely understand
[01:35.91] Trucker's speed and yes indeed, it's nearly gettin' light
[01:39.62] Well, it's time to switch to whiskey
[01:41.74] We've been drinkin' beer all night
[01:45.18] Smoke your grass, and fish for bass, and burn that purple gas
[01:49.17] Sure enough, 'cause the powerful stuff that'll knock you on your ass
[01:53.45] It's like diesel fuel – nobody's fool is gonna wanna get left behind
[01:57.50] 'Cause it's time to switch to whiskey
[01:59.34] We've been drinkin' beer all night
[02:02.37] Well, it's time to switch to whiskey
[02:04.27] We've been drinkin' beer all night
[02:06.66] We're all half-dead
[02:07.63] And them that's left are spoilin' for a fight
[02:10.86] Who'd 'a thunk, we'd get jackass drunk
[02:12.95] The boys won't spare the rye
[02:14.70] And it's time to switch to whiskey
[02:16.36] We've been drinkin' beer all night
[02:22.18] I've been splittin' eights and hittin' my straights
[02:24.01] In the cardrooms of the world
[02:26.68] Chasin' skirt and gettin' hurt, but now I've got a card-playin' girl
[02:30.35] But, man, she gets excited when the deal don't come out right
[02:34.52] It's time to switch to whiskey
[02:36.33] She's been drinkin' beer all night
[02:39.32] Well, it's time to switch to whiskey
[02:41.27] We've been drinkin' beer all night
[02:43.69] We're all half-dead
[02:44.10] And them that's left are spoilin' for a fight
[02:47.90] Well, who'd 'a thunk we'd get jackass drunk
[02:49.72] The boys don't spare the rye
[02:51.83] 'Cause it's time to switch to whiskey
[02:53.49] We've been drinkin' beer all night
[02:55.95] Okay! All right!
[02:57.27]
[03:25.04] Well, I've heard it said
[03:26.30] That you can get some heat in Irish pubs
[03:29.40] Servin' Jamesons to an Orangeman
[03:31.43] And Bushmills to his cuz
[03:33.69] Here's what you do
[03:34.75] With Tullamore Dew
[03:35.73] You can meet 'em both halfway
[03:37.31] It's time to switch to whiskey
[03:39.53] They've been drinkin' beer all day
[03:42.89] Well, it's time to switch to whiskey
[03:44.68] We've been drinkin' beer all night
[03:47.06] We're all half-dead
[03:48.44] And them that's left are spoilin' for a fight
[03:51.12] Who'd 'a thunk we'd get jackass drunk
[03:53.05] The boys don't spare the rye
[03:55.10] And it's time to switch to whiskey
[03:57.09] We've been drinkin' beer all night
[04:00.06] And it's time to switch to whiskey
[04:01.98] We've been drinkin' beer all night
[04:04.55] "Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey," I cried
[04:11.73]
[04:25.19] Thanks, everybody!
