about

A verse from an old Irish tune about the merits and benefits of Whiskey.

lyrics

Come guess me this riddle: what beats pipes and fiddle?
What's hotter than mustard and wilder than cream?
What’ll best wet your whistle? What's clearer than crystal?
What's sweeter than honey and stronger than steam?

What will make the lame walk? What will make the dumb talk?
What’s The elixir of life and philospher's stone
And what helped Mr. Brunel to dig the Thames Tunnel?
Wasn't it Whiskey from ould Inishowen?

So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
For drowning your sorrows and raising your joys
And boys it’s the right thing for courtin’ and fighting’
There’s none so exciting as whiskey me boys

So stick to the cratur’ the best thing in nature
For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
And lord, it's no wonder, that lightning and thunder
Was made from the plunder of whiskey me boys
