an odd song about a St. John's bootlegger, apparently.

  with the chorus of the very similar "Whiskey, You're the Devil"

  tacked on in the coda. Sung by Darrell Power.



  Capo 5th fret.



 Intro: G.....

 

      G                   Cadd9       G

 When I was a young man I was led astray

   Cadd9      G     Cadd9   D    G

 I met with a buddy down in Logy Bay

 G 

 we went out in all weather, 

    Cadd9         G

 we wore out our shoes,

       Cadd9          G          D

 goin' up Kingsbridge road for a drink o' Booze



 CHORUS:

         

           G              Cadd9      G

 Drink her up, boys! it's well after ten

           G              D          G

 Drink her up, boys! it's well after ten



 G F|G F|G...



 some people say that the Pinky is fine

 others will swear by a drop of moonshine

 but as for myself I've a bottle of each

 mixed in with a gallon of dipper and screech



 Chorus



 It's the old shaving lotion thats made me this way

 sweeter than Pepsi and stronger then tea 

 and when in the evening when we're feeling fine

 we stop into Jakey's for icons and 'shine



 Chorus 



 It's the old shaving lotion that's made me this way

 sweeter then pepsi an' stronger than tea

 and when in the morning when I'm feelin' rough

 I curse old Jakey who sold me this stuff



 CHORUS x2....



 "Take a two-four out the door!"





 Da-da-da-da-da-da....



 Ah,whiskey you're the devil, you're leadin' me astray

 over hills and mountains and to Americay

 you're nicer, stronger, decenter, you're spunkier than tea

 oh, whiskey you're me darlin' drunk or sober
