Lyrics Whiskey - Jolly Jackers

Whiskey

You left me again, but this time for good
The daytime ran fast, but the nights just stood
So I went to a bar near my home
And I met this guy, Jamie, a decent fellow
You left me again, but this time for good
The daytime ran fast, but the nights just stood
So I went to a bar near my home
And I met this guy, Jamie, a decent fellow.
He said:
'Come here, my friend, you look so sad
Surely I can help you make your bad times pass
Come here, my friend, you look so sad
Just drink it up and you’ll forget!'
The next day I met Jamie again
But this time he brought along Johnny, his friend.
I started to talk about how life’s hard on me
These two guys were quietly listening to me.
They said:
'Come here, my friend, you look so sad
Surely I can help you make your bad times pass
Come here, my friend, you look so sad
Just drink it up and you’ll forget!'
The next day I met Jamie again
But this time he brought along a lot of his friends
Johnny and Jim and Jack joined the gang
And they became a bunch of good friends.
They said:
'Come here, my friend, you look so sad
Surely I can help you make your bad times pass
Come here, my friend, you look so sad
Just drink it up and you’ll forget!'
So we’ve been together since I don’t know when
I do the talking and they just listen.
I lost my job, too, but I have these friends.
They surely can make my bad times pass!
They say:
'Come here, my friend, you look so sad
Surely I can help you make your bad times pass
Come here, my friend, you look so sad
Just drink it up and you’ll forget!'
'Come here, my friend, you look so sad
Surely I can help you make your bad times pass
Come here, my friend, you look so sad
Just drink it up and you’ll forget!'
