When I was a young man I was led astray
I met with a buddy down in Logy Bay
we went out in all weather,
we wore out our shoes,
goin' up Kingsbridge road for a drink o' Booze
Drink her up, boys! it's well after ten
Drink her up, boys! it's well after ten
some people say that the Pinky is fine
others will swear by a drop of moonshine
but as for myself I've a bottle of each
mixed in with a gallon of dipper and screech
Chorus
It's the old shaving lotion thats made me this way
sweeter than Pepsi and stronger then tea
and when in the evening when we're feeling fine
we stop into Jakey's for icons and 'shine
Chorus
It's the old shaving lotion that's made me this way
sweeter then pepsi an' stronger than tea
and when in the morning when I'm feelin' rough
I curse old Jakey who sold me this stuff
CHORUS x2....
"Take a two-four out the door!"
Da-da-da-da-da-da....
Ah,whiskey you're the devil, you're leadin' me astray
over hills and mountains and to Americay
you're nicer, stronger, decenter, you're spunkier than tea
oh, whiskey you're me darlin' drunk or sober
fade over verse chords
