Ricky Warwick - The Whiskey Song lyrics

[Verse 1] Johnny came marching home that night With the battle all but won Then he pushed his girl against the wall And he loved her like his gun But them cotton fields he trampled [?] to the floor When opening doors and foreign lands cos living won the war And the lagging spawned a 100 mils and [?] was sent to God And feckin whisky oil machines were forged as work was hard Brick by brick and street by street blood of careless hand And sensible with amber came laughing to this land [Chorus] Oh oh oh oh every rhythm tells its tale Oh oh oh oh every city sails a dream Oh oh oh oh make feckin whisky last a life It purges sinners greed [Verse 2] There lies a secret you must punch above your weight When the big ship sails in the alley o this bad [?] Before this summer cast it spell the fallen [?] has gone The thousand bombers left omagh in the spring of 41 And the lagging spawned a 100 mils of [?] was sent to God And fecking whisky oil machines were forged as work was hard Brick by brick and street by street blood of careless hand With straps of glowing amber come laughing to this land [Chorus] Oh oh oh oh every rhythm tells its tale Oh oh oh oh every city sails a dream Oh oh oh oh make feckin whisky last a life It purges sinners greed [Verse 3] [?] round our way To the smokey gathered in disguise bit like a [?] Well those that look like johnny still found that civil war ‘cos [?] someone to promise fecking more Yet spirits fill this brim [?] but a showels still a spade And hope still waits for patience in the new old [?] And the lagging spawned a 100mils [?] in north west [?] Feckin whisky oil machines were forged as work was hard Brick by brick and street by street blood of careless hand And sensible with straps of glowing amber come laughing to this land [Chorus] Oh oh oh oh every rhythm tells its tale Oh oh oh oh every city sails a dream Oh oh oh oh make feckin whisky last a life It purges sinners greed Oh oh oh oh every rhythm tells its tale Oh oh oh oh every city sails a dream Oh oh oh oh make feckin whisky last a life It purges sinners greed [Outro] That feckin whisky... That feckin whisky, that feckin whisky And it purges sinners greed
