Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk If the River Was Whiskey 
If the River Was Whiskey 
If the river was whiskey and I was a duck I'd dive to the bottom and I'd never come up Oh tell me how long do I have to wait 
Oh can I get you now, mustn't hesitate 
If the river was whiskey and the branch was wine You'd see me in swimming just any ole time I was born in England, raised in France 
I bought a suit of clothes and they wouldn't send the pants 
I was born in Alabama, raised in Tennesee If you don't like my peaches then don't shake my tree I looked down the road just as far as I can see 
A man had my woman and the blues had me 
I ain't no doctor but the doctor's son I can do the doctoring till the doctor comes Got the hesitation stockings got the hesitation shoes 
Oh my Lord I got the hesitation blues 
I was born in Kingston, raised in Rosendale I went through a stop sign and they threw me in jail BL
