VERSE 1
Whiskey is the life of man
Whiskey, Johnny!
O, whiskey is the life of man
Whiskey for my Johnny O!

VERSE 2
O, I drink whiskey when I can
Whiskey, Johnny!
I drink it out of an old tin can
Whiskey for my Johnny O!

VERSE 3
Whiskey gave me a broken nose!
Whiskey, Johnny!
Whiskey made me pawn my clothes
Whiskey for my Johnny O!

VERSE 4
Whiskey drove me around Cape Horn
Whiskey, Johnny!
It was many a month when I was gone
Whiskey for my Johnny O!

VERSE 5
I thought I heard the old man say:
Whiskey, Johnny!
I'll treat my crew in a decent way
Whiskey for my Johnny O!

VERSE 6
A glass of grog for every man!
Whiskey, Johnny!
And a bottle for the shanty Man
Whiskey for my Johnny O!
