Rye Whiskey
4 5 6 6 5 4 4
Rye whisky, rye whisky,
5 6 6 -6
Rye whisky, I cry,
-6 -6 6 5 5 -4 4
If you don't give me rye whisky,
3 4 4 -4 4
I surely will die.
Jack o' diamonds, jack o' diamonds,
I know you of old,
You've robbed my poor pockets
Of silver and gold.
Oh, whisky, you villain,
You've been my downfall,
You've kicked me, you've cuffed me,
But I love you for all.
4 4 5 6 6 5 4
If the ocean was whisky,
4 5 6 6-6
And I was a duck,
-6 6 5 5 -4 4
I'd dive to the bottom
3 3 4 4 -4 4
And I'll never come up
4 5 6 6 5 4
But the ocean ain't whisky
4 5 6 6 -6
And I ain't a duck,
6 -6 6 5 5 -4 4
So I'll play Jack of Diamonds
3 3 4 4 -4 4
And trust to my luck.
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
