Rye Whiskey [core]

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

Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds, I know you of old
You've robbed my poor pockets, Of silver and gold

Whiskey, you villian, you've been my downfall
You've kicked me, you've cuffed me, But I love you for all

They say I drink whiskey, my money is 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 thirsty 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 heaven when I die

Baby, oh baby, I've told you before
You make me a pallet, I'll lay on the floor

If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck
I would dive to the bottom and never come up

But the ocean ain't whiskey, and I ain't no duck
So I'll play the Jack of diamonds and trust to my luck
