lyrics

Rye Whiskey
(Traditional)

On top of yon mountain
I wandered alone,
Drunk as the devil
and a long ways from home

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey,
Rye whiskey, I cry ;
If I don’t get rye whiskey,
I surely will die

I went on youn mountain;
I set on a log,
My liquor jug beside me
And sicker than a dog.

Poor drunkard, poor drunkard,
How bad I do feel ;
Poor drunkard, poor drunkard,
How bad I do feel.

I’m a-going on yon mountain,
I’ll build me a still;
I’ll make you a gallon
For a two dollar bill.

Poor drunkard, poor drunkard,
How bad I do feel ;
Poor drunkard, poor drunkard,
How bad I do feel.

If the ocean was whiskey
And I was a duck,
I’d dive to the bottom
And drink my way up.

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey,
Rye whiskey, I cry ;
If I don’t get rye whiskey,
I surely will die
