Rye Whiskey

I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
 If the hard times don't kill me, I'll lay down and die
 Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
 If you don't give me rye whiskey I surely will die
 I'll tune up my fiddle and rosin my bow
 I make myself welcome, wherever I go
 Beefsteak when I'm hungry, red booze when I'm dry
 Dubloons when I'm hard up and religion when I die
 They say I drink whiskey, my money's my own
 And them that don't like me, can leave me alone
 Sometimes I drink whiskey, sometimes I drink rum
 Sometimes I drink brown ale and other times none
 I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
 If the hard times don't kill me, I'll lay down and die
 Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
 If you don't give me rye whiskey I surely will die
 But if I get boozey, my whiskey's my own
 And them that don't like me, can leave me alone
 Jack o' Diamonds, Jack o' Daniel's I know you of old
 You've robbed me poor pockets of silver and gold
 Oh whiskey, you villain, you've been my downfall
 You've kicked me, you've cuffed me, but I love you for all
 If the ocean were whiskey and I was a duck
 I'd dive to the bottom and drown to get drunk
 I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
 If the hard times don't kill me, I'll lay down and die
 Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
 If you don't give me rye whiskey I surely will die
 My foot in a stirrup, her scarf in my hand
 I pray thee sweet Lillie, she'll find a good man
 Her parents don't like me, they say I'm too poor
 Unfit and unworthy to enter her door
 Sweet milk when I'm hungry, rye whiskey when dry
 If a tree don't fall on me, I'll live 'till I die
 I'll buy my own whiskey and make my own stew
 And when I get drunk all, it's because of you
 I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
 If the hard times don't kill me, I'll lay down and die
 Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
 If you don't give me rye whiskey I surely will die
 I'll drink my own whiskey and finish your wine
 Some ten thousand bottles I've killed in my time
 I've no wife to quarrel, no babies to bawl
 The best way of livin's with no wife at all
 On Mullacor Mountain I wander alone
 I'm drunk as the devil, oh, leave me alone
 You may boast of your wisdom and brag of your blood
 We'll both be forgotten in the wake of the flood
 I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
 If things don't get better, I'll lay down and die
 Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I sigh
 If I've run out of rye whiskey I might as well die
 Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
 If you don't give me rye whiskey I surely will die...
