Whiskeyday, Everyday
Intro:
When I was a wee lad of only twelve years old,
I went to the café and there I had a e
And then there was an old bloke who said to me: Young lad
I ll give you a whiskey now and then you ll be a man
Chorus
Yesterday a whiskeyday,
Today a whiskeyday
And I think it will be whiskeyday
all my bloody life.
My life, it went on and I loved the drink too much,
And all the people in the town knew me as such,
And then there was a fair young lady who said to me: my dear
Don t drink too much whiskey or you ll find me in tears
Chorus
This girl, she became my dearest and I love her with all my heart
But the only thing she doesn t like is tearing me apart
And then there came that old bloke who said to her: young lady
Do that boy a favour and drink your bloody whiskey
Chorus
We got old together happy and one night went to a bar
There was a young boy who was playing his guitar
And I saw he was drinking porter so I said to him: young lad
I ll give you a whiskey now and then you ll be a man
Chorus 2x
