Lyrics The Whiskey Song - Feckin Whiskey - Ricky Warwick

The Whiskey Song - Feckin Whiskey

Johnny came marching home that night
With the battle all but won
Then he pushed his girl against the wall
And he loved her like his gun
But them cotton fields he trampled when the boot starts to the floor
When opening doors and foreign lands cos living won the war
And the Lagan spawned a 100 mills, the Ropeworks and the yard
And feckin whisky oil machines were forged as work was hard
Brick by brick and street by street blood of careless hand
And sensible with amber came laughing to this land
Oh oh oh oh every rhythm tells its tale
Oh oh oh oh every city sails a dream
Oh oh oh oh make feckin whisky last a life
It purges sinners greed
There though lies a secret you must punch above your weight
When the big ship sails in the alley o this bad
Before this summer cast it spell the fallen has gone
The thousand bombers left omagh in the spring of 41
And the the Lagan spawned a 100 mills, the Ropeworks and the yard
And fecking whisky oil machines were forged as work was hard
Brick by brick and street by street blood of careless hand
With straps of glowing amber come laughing to this land
Oh oh oh oh every rhythm tells its tale
Oh oh oh oh every city sails a dream
Oh oh oh oh make feckin whisky last a life
It purges sinners greed
round our way
To the smokey gathered in disguise bit like a
Well those that look like johnny still found that civil war
‘cos someone to promise fecking more
Yet spirits fill this brim but a showels still a spade
And hope still waits for patience in the new old
And the lagging spawned a 100mils in north west
Feckin whisky oil machines were forged as work was hard
Brick by brick and street by street blood of careless hand
And sensible with straps of glowing amber come laughing to this land
Oh oh oh oh every rhythm tells its tale
Oh oh oh oh every city sails a dream
Oh oh oh oh make feckin whisky last a life
It purges sinners greed
Oh oh oh oh every rhythm tells its tale
Oh oh oh oh every city sails a dream
Oh oh oh oh make feckin whisky last a life
It purges sinners greed
That feckin whisky…
That feckin whisky, that feckin whisky
And it purges sinners greed
