209.  RYE WHISKEY
Melody--Itself

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey,
Rye whiskey, I cry.
If I don't get rye whiskey,
I surely will die.

If the ocean were whiskey,
And I were a duck,
I'd swim to the bottom,
And drink my way up.

Sometimes I drink whiskey,
Sometimes I drink gin,
It doesn't really matter,
The state that I'm in.

Sometimes I drink whiskey,
Sometimes I drink rum,
I only do that,
When I want to come.

From Paul Woodford, "Hash Hymns II" (Honolulu, Hawaii, 1994)
