And life is but a dram
And I go to some hollow
And I go to some bar room
Lord, I don't know what will
Let me drink when I'm dry
If whiskey don't kill me
God bless them pretty women
And set up my still
To drink with my friends
The dew on the vine
Religion when I die
And I spent all my money
To see what I spend
The whole world is a bottle
Where the women they can't follow
Let me eat when I'm hungry
With breath as sweet as
When the bottle gets empty
Two dollars when I'm hard up
I wish there was mine
On whiskey and beer
