Give Me Whiskey Or Give Me Death

Give Me Whiskey Or Give Me Death

 

Give me whiskey or give me death

you've taken everything else i had

I've got nothing left

So leave me in the lurch

with a bottle half empty on the shelf

and I'll sit here by myself depressed and drunk as hell

 

Be sure to wear your bright smile proudly 

make sure you tell every so called friend you collect 

don't neglect to mention 

how i didn't fail to botch it up again 

and ill scream the chorus to the termites in the attic 

because that's the part I can't forget

 

So....

 

Give me whiskey or give me death

you've taken everything else i had

I've got nothing left

So leave me in the lurch 

with a bottle and this old guitar 

and I'll scream how much I miss you 

to the lovesick whinos and the stars

 

How I'd love to hop a T.A.R.D.I.S.

to the distant past in Maryland

Baltimore specific beneath the harbor lights

 

As we danced with abandon

as the ships pulled into the port

drinking and singing a chorus of a different sort

 

It went ...

 

Give me whiskey or give me death

I'll love you to the minute I draw my last breath 

I'll scream out your name 

until I leave this earthly plain 

and think of you my dear 

until we meet again

 

But till then ....

 

I'll sing ....

 

Give me whiskey or give me death

Clan Mcgregor Bushmills or Jameson

I don't care the flavor 

it's the feelings i cant take 

and ironically its what started this ridiculous mistake

 

So .. One final round ... Last call...

 

Give me whiskey or give me death

you've taken everything else i had

I've got nothing left

so leave me in the lurch 

with a bottle and this old guitar 

and I'll scream until I shred every vocal chord 

and hope for your return
