I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
If the hard times don't kill me, I'll lay down and die
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey, I cry
If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die
I'll tune up me fiddle and rosin my bow
I'll make myself welcome wherever I go
Beefsteak when I'm hungry, red booze when I'm dry
Doubloons when I'm hollered up and religion when I die
They say I drink whiskey, my money's my own
And them that don't like me can leave me alone
Sometimes I drink whiskey, sometimes I [B] drink rum
Sometimes I drink brown ale and other times none
I'll eat when [F] I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
If the hard times don't kill me, I'll lay [N] down and die
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey, I cry
If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die
But if I get boozy, my whiskey's my own
And them that don't like me can leave me [G#m] alone
Jack of diamonds, Jack of Daniels, I know you of all
You've robbed me for pockets of silver and gold
Oh whiskey, oh villain, you've been my downfall
You've kicked me, you've cuffed me, but I'll love you for all
If the ocean were whiskey and I was a duck
I'd dive to [F#] the bottom and drown to get drunk
I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll [G#] drink when [F#] I'm dry
If the hard times [C#] don't kill me, I'll lay down and die
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye [N] whiskey, I cry
If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die
My foot in the stirrup, her scarf in my hand
I pray thee, sweet Lily, she'll find a good man
Her parents don't like me, they say I'm too poor
Unfit and unworthy to enter her door
Sweet milk when I'm hungry, rye whiskey when dry
If a tree don't fall on me, I'll live till I die
I'll buy my own whiskey, I'll make my own stew
And when I get drunk, oh it's because of you
I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
If the hard times don't kill me, I'll lay down and die
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey, I cry
If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die
I'll drink my own whiskey and finish your wine
Some ten thousand bottles I've killed in my time
I've no wife to quarrel, no babies to bawl
The best [B] way out lands with no wife at all
One mother [N] come out and I wander alone
I'm drunk as a devil, oh leave me alone
You may boast of your wisdom and rag on your blood
We'll both be forgotten in the wake of the flood
I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
If things don't get better, I'll lay down and die
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey, I sigh
If I run out of rye whiskey, I might as well die
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey, I cry
If you don't give me rye whiskey, [C#] I [G#m] surely will die
If the hard times don't kill me, I'll lay down and die
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey, I cry
If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die
I'll tune up me fiddle and rosin my bow
I'll make myself welcome wherever I go
Beefsteak when I'm hungry, red booze when I'm dry
Doubloons when I'm hollered up and religion when I die
They say I drink whiskey, my money's my own
And them that don't like me can leave me alone
Sometimes I drink whiskey, sometimes I [B] drink rum
Sometimes I drink brown ale and other times none
I'll eat when [F] I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
If the hard times don't kill me, I'll lay [N] down and die
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey, I cry
If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die
