Lyrics Poison Whiskey - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Poison Whiskey

Daddy was a Cajun, baby, raised on southern land
And so my kinfolks tell me, was a street-fighting man
Well, they rushed him down to see the doctor
Well the doctor just checked his head
The only thing that was wrong with him was Johnny Walker’s Red
He drank ole poison whiskey
And it killed him dead
Aw yeah
Happened back in the bayou many years ago
Satan came to take him and he did it real slow
Well, they rushed him back to see the doctor
Well the doctor just shook his head
Twenty years of rotgut whiskey done killed this poor man dead
He drank ole poison whiskey
'Til it killed him dead
You people hear what I said
Sweet guitar
Oh poison whiskey
Take a tip from me, people
Brothers can’t you see
Ain’t no future in ole poison whiskey
They’re gonna rush you down to see that doctor
Well the doctor’s gonna shake his head
The only thing he’s gonna tell you baby
Stop drinking Johnny Walker’s Red
Don’t drink poison whiskey, don’t you drink it boy
