Nick Cave & The Bad Seed - Rye Whiskey Lyrics




Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds, I know you most of all

You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold

And Whiskey, you villain, you've been my down-fall

You've cuffed and you've kicked me but I loved you of old





Oh Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, Whiskey I cried

If I don't get rye Whiskey I surely will die





Well I go yonder mountain and build me a still

And I send you a gallon for a five dollar bill

Well it's beefcake when I'm hungry, Whiskey when I'm dry

And it's greenbacks when I'm hard off and hell when I die





If the sea were made of Whiskey and I was a duck

I'd swim to the bottom and never come up

Oh, but the sea ain't made of Whiskey and I ain't a duck

So I play Jack Of Diamonds and trust on my luck
