lyrics

WHAT'S IN THE WHISKEY

Baby’s got a pair of shiny black shoes
Baby’s got a pair of shiny black shoes
Well I know what’s in the whiskey, and I know what’s in the rye
And if you try to flip me, I’ma see it in your eye

Well I never seen a sweeter gal than you
No, I never seen a sweeter gal it’s true
Well I know what’s in the whiskey, and I know what’s in the rye
And if you ‘aint coming with me, then I’ll just sit down and cry
That train’s a’comin, boy it’s comin in fast
You hear that train, oh it’s comin in fast
Well I know it’s kinda risky to be running on the fly
It’s just water in the whiskey, and arsenic in the rye

Well I know what’s in the whisky, and I know what’s in the rye
If you don’t see me tomorrow, then you know they got their guy
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
