Oh, whisky is the life of man
Always was since the world began
Oh, whisky made me pawn me clothes
Oh, whisky gave me a broken nose

Oh, whisky is the life of man
A whisky from an old tin can
If whisky comes too near my nose
Well it's up she comes, and down she goes

Whisky-o, Johnny-o
Rise her up from down below
Whisky, whisky, whisky-o
Up aloft this yard must go
John rise her up from down below

I thought I heard the old man say
(I thought I heard the old man say)
Well I treat my crew in a decent way
(I treat my crew in a decent way)
Well I treat my crew in a decent way
(I treat my crew in a decent way)
Well I give them whisky twice a day
(Twice a day)

Whisky-o, Johnny-o
Rise her up from down below
Whisky, whisky, whisky-o
Up aloft this yard must go
John rise her up from down below

Well whisky makes my friends my foes
And It makes us roar and makes it us roll
Well a glass of whisky all around
And a bottle for the shanty man

Whisky-o, Johnny-o
Rise her up from down below
Whisky, whisky, whisky-o
Up aloft this yard must go
John rise her up from down below

Whisky-o, Johnny-o
We'll rise her up from down below
Whisky, whisky, whisky-o
Up aloft this yard must go
John rise her up from down below
