Hooray For Whiskey - Santiano

It was a night, me girls from The Devil’s Crown, in the finest pub in town

I was just about to be heading when they passed the final round

The next thing I remember is waking on a ship

They took me out to Shanghai on a trip

Hooray for whiskey

Oh, for whiskey

A penny for each time you stood by us

Hooray for whiskey

Oh, for whiskey

To you, me friend, we raise another glass

On our way back home I been left alone with the captain’s last supplies

I took just a sip, just a tiny bit

Couldn’t help it for me life

The next thing I remember, they threw me in the sea

Ten empty bottles floating next to me

Hooray for whiskey

Oh, for whiskey

A penny for each time you stood by us

Hooray for whiskey

Oh, for whiskey

To you, me friend, we raise another glass

I built me-self a raft and I paddled off

To an island somewhere close

Was it destiny was it meant to be?

Couldn’t tell ya lads, who knows?

The island I got onto was a smuggler’s hiding place

Five empty bottles later I was saved

Hooray for whiskey

Oh, for whiskey

A penny for each time you stood by us

Hooray for whiskey

Oh, for whiskey

To you, me friend, we raise another glass

You’ll never get me on that stinkin' ship all the way to bloody China

You’ll have to fuckin' hit me over the head first

Hey, come on lads, give me another bottle of whiskey

To you my friend we raise another glass

Hooray for whiskey

Oh, for whiskey

A penny for each time you stood by us

Hooray for whiskey

Oh, for whiskey

To you, me friend, we raise another glass

To you my friend we raise another glass
