The Fenians - Token Whiskey Song lyrics



Oh whisky you're no devil
to me you're more a saint
You make me feel like heaven
and the angel that I aint.

when I get my fill of whisky
and my eyes are full of red,
I begin to lose my footing
fighting revolutions in my head.

come drink with me and fill me up
and come with me to rove
I'll tell ye tales in many tongues
That is except my own

Dont' take away that bottle
if you want me to stay true;
Cause you've never been so beautiful
As when there's two of you.

And it's one who for where I've come from
Two for where I am,
Three for where I'm heading,
One more for God knows how!

Five for fame and fortune,
Six for yesterday,
Seven for the company
and eight, we're on our way

now lay me down to sleep my friend,
don't touch me till I wake,
If I'm sick tonight,
Tomorow I'll make the same mistake!

I've broken some commandments,
but by God I've never killed!
So leave me to my daily bread,
Fermented and distilled.

And it's one who for where I've come from
Two for where I am,
Three for where I'm heading,
One more for God knows how!

Five for fame and fortune,
Six for yesterday,
Seven for the company
and eight, we're on our way

On the sea, you'll see me in a state
Where punching set me free
All the chains and brittan's hoards
Have no way to shackle me

so take me across the great green fields
fly me 'cross the boam
And lay my body down to rest,
so never more will I rove

And it's one who for where I've come from
Two for where I am,
Three for where I'm heading,
One more for God knows how!

Five for fame and fortune,
Six for yesterday,
Seven for the company
and eight, we're on our way

one who for where I've come from
Two for where I am,
Three for where I'm heading,
One more for God knows how!

Five for fame and fortune,
Six for yesterday,
Seven for the company
and eight, we're on our way
