Rye whiskey - Jan Pouska

O Mollie o Mollie

It's for your sake alone

That I leave my old parents

My house and my home

My love for you it has caused me to roam

I'm a rabble rouser and Dixie's my home

Jack o' Diamonds

Jack o' Diamonds and I know you of old

You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold

O whiskey you villain

You've been my downfall

You've kicked me

You've cuffed me and caused me to brawl

My foot's in a stirrup

My bridle's in my hand

I'm leaving sweet Mollie

The fairest in the land

Her parents don't like me

They say I'm too poor

They say I'm unworthy to enter her door

They say I drink whiskey my money's my own

And them that don't like me can leave me alone

I'll eat when I'm hungry

I'll drink when I'm dry

And when I get thristy

I'll lay down and cry

It's beefsteak when

I'm hungry and whiskey when I'm dry

Greenbacks when

I'm hard up and hell when I die

Rye whiskey rye whiskey

Rye whiskey I cry

If I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die

Oh baby oh baby I've told you before

Do make me a pallet I'll lie on the floor

I've rambled and trambled this wide world around

Raising hell with the gang

That's where I am bound

It's with these gunslingers

Dear Mollie I'll roam

I'm a rabble rouser and Dixie's my home

If the ocean were whiskey

And I were a duck

I'd dive to the bottom

And get one sweet sup

But the ocean ain't whiskey

And I ain't no duck

So I'll play Jack o' Diamonds

And then we'll get drunk

Oh baby oh baby I've told you before

Do make me a pallet

I'll lie on the floor
