Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I crave
If I don't get rye whiskey I'll go to my grave
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die
I'll eat when I'm hungry
I'll drink when I'm dry
And if whiskey don't k** me I'll live 'till I die
I'll drink my corn whiskey and rye whiskey too
The ones that don't like me can leave me alone
