Lyrics Hooray For Whiskey - Santiano

Hooray For Whiskey

It was a night, me girls from The Devil’s Crown, in the finest pub in town
I was just about to be heading when they passed the final round
The next thing I remember is waking on a ship
They took me out to Shanghai on a trip
Hooray for whiskey
Oh, for whiskey
A penny for each time you stood by us
Hooray for whiskey
Oh, for whiskey
To you, me friend, we raise another glass
On our way back home I been left alone with the captain’s last supplies
I took just a sip, just a tiny bit
Couldn’t help it for me life
The next thing I remember, they threw me in the sea
Ten empty bottles floating next to me
Hooray for whiskey
Oh, for whiskey
A penny for each time you stood by us
Hooray for whiskey
Oh, for whiskey
To you, me friend, we raise another glass
I built me-self a raft and I paddled off
To an island somewhere close
Was it destiny was it meant to be?
Couldn’t tell ya lads, who knows?
The island I got onto was a smuggler’s hiding place
Five empty bottles later I was saved
Hooray for whiskey
Oh, for whiskey
A penny for each time you stood by us
Hooray for whiskey
Oh, for whiskey
To you, me friend, we raise another glass
You’ll never get me on that stinkin' ship all the way to bloody China
You’ll have to fuckin' hit me over the head first
Hey, come on lads, give me another bottle of whiskey
To you my friend we raise another glass
Hooray for whiskey
Oh, for whiskey
A penny for each time you stood by us
Hooray for whiskey
Oh, for whiskey
To you, me friend, we raise another glass
To you my friend we raise another glass
