Rye Whiskey Lyrics

Tex Ritter - Rye Whiskey
Jack o' Diamonds Jack o' Diamonds and I know you of old
You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold
Its a whiskey you villain you've been my downfall
You've kicked me you've cuffed me but I love you for all.
Its a whiskey Rye Whiskey Rye Whiskey I cry
If I dont get Rye Whiskey well I think I will die. (Oooh hick)
Its a beefsteak when I'm hungry Rye Whiskey when I'm dry
Greenbacks when I'm hard up Heaven when I die
Ill a goatee and a holler and a build me a still
Ill give you a gallon for a five dollar bill.
Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey I cry
If a tree dont fall on me Ill live till I die.
(Ooooh hick)
If the ocean was whiskey,(hick) and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom and never come up.
Now the ocean ain't whiskey and I ain't a duck
Ill play Jack O Diamond and trust to my luck.
Rye Whiskey Rye Whiskey Rye Whiskey I cry
If the whiskey dont kill me Ill live till I die.
