Whiskey Is The Life Of Man Traditional 
Oh whiskey is the life of man Always was since the world began 
Whiskey-o, Johnny-o Rise her up from down below Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o Up aloft this yard must go John rise her up from down below 
Now whiskey made me pawn me clothes And whiskey gave me a broken nose 
Whiskey-o, Johnny-o Rise her up from down below Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o Up aloft this yard must go John rise her up from down below 
Now whiskey is the life of man Whiskey from an old tin can 
Whiskey-o, Johnny-o Rise her up from down below Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o Up aloft this yard must go John rise her up from down below 
I thought I heard the first mate say I treats me crew in a decent way 
Whiskey-o, Johnny-o Rise her up from down below Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o Up aloft this yard must go John rise her up from down below 
A glass of whiskey all around And a bottle full for the shanty man 
Whiskey-o, Johnny-o Rise her up from down below Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o Up aloft this yard must go John rise her up from down below
