Charlie Sizemore Band - Whiskey Willie lyrics
He made whiskey by the barrel By the gallon, by the jar And he sold it to the soldiers In that awful civil war To the rebels, to the yankees He sold whiskey, north and south From Washington down to Richmond And he said he didn't know what that old war was all about Whiskey Willie, bring your wagon Come and fill up my demijohn Whiskey Willie, bring your wagon And well keep right on a'fighting till the battle has been won Bobby Lee was not a drinker Jackson scorned the devil's brew Grant said, "Willie, bring us whiskey And we'll pay the devil's due." To the union, to the free states Willie sold his whiskey shine When the soldiers saw him coming They would wave and they would holler And he'd drive right through the line Whiskey Willie had a woman Never was there one more true She could drive his team and wagon Help him sell his whiskey, too Was a fine cook making sour mash That's what mountain women's for Every time she left the cabin Willie said, "Keep your wits and remember this is war." Whiskey Willie, bring your wagon Come and fill up my demijohn Whiskey Willie, bring your wagon And well keep right on a'fighting till the battle has been won When the smoke cleared and they made peace Reconstruction was its name All the yankees celebrated And the rebels lived in shame Whiskey Willie never did know Why they had that awful spat But he kept on selling whiskey Said, "You've gotta stay half drunk To keep on killin' folks like that." |
