[Intro]
N.C.
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey, I cried.
N.C.
If I don’t get rye whiskey well I think I may die.
N.C.
I’m gonna go up beyond that holler, gonna build me a still
N.C.
And I’ll sell you a gallon for a five dollar bill.
N.C.
Well, If the oceans was whiskey and I was a duck,
N.C.
I’d swim to the bottoms and never come up.
N.C.
But the oceans ain’t whiskey and I ain’t no duck,
N.C.
So I’ll play the jack o’ diamonds and trust to my luck.
N.C.
Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds, you know you hold
N.C.
You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold.
N.C.
Well it’s beefsteak when I'm hungry, rye whiskey when I’m dry,
N.C.
Greenbacks when I’m hard up and heaven when I die.
N.C.
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey, I cried.
N.C.
If I don’t get rye whiskey well I think I may die.
N.C.
Well, my horses ain’t hungry and they don’t want your hay.
N.C.
Fair thee well darling, and I'll be on my way.
Here’s to it folks...
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
WGell, I like a full bodied lager as much as the next hard workin' man,
TGhe taste of suds, while dealin' stud, I can surely understand,
The Ctrucker speed, and yes indeed, it's nearly gettin light,
Well, it's Gtime to switch to whiskey
We’ve been Fdrinkin’ beer all nGight!

[Verse 2]
SmGoke your grass, and fish for bass, and burn that purple gas
SGho' enough, it's powerfull stuff, that'll knock you on your ass
It's like Cdiesel fuel, nobody's fool's gonna wanna get left behind
Well, it's Gtime to switch to whiskey
We’ve been Fdrinkin’ beer all Gnight!
[Chorus]
Well, it's Gtime to switch to whiskey we’ve been dFrinkin’ beer all Gnight!
WGe're all half dead and them that's left is sDpoilin' for a fight
Well, whoG'da thunk, we'd quit drinkin' drunk, now bCoys don’t spare the rye
Well, it's time Gto switch to whiskey, we've been dFrinking beer all Gnight
[Verse 3]
IG've been splittin' eights and hittin' m'straights in card rooms of the world
CGhasing skirt and gettin' hurt, but now I got a card playin' girl
MCan she gets a solid when the deal don't come out right
Well, it's time Gto switch to whiskey, she's been dFrinking beer all Gnight
[Chorus]
Well, it's time Gto switch to whiskey, we've been dFrinking beer all Gnight

Well, it's time Gto switch to whiskey, we've been Fdrinking beer all Gnight

[Verse 4]
WGell I've heard it's said that you can get some heat in Irish pubs,
SGervin Jamesons to an Orangeman and Bushmills to his cuz
Well, here's Cwhat you do, with Tullamore Dew, you can meet 'em both half way
It's tiGme to switch to whiskey, they've been Fdrinkin beer all Gday!
[Chorus]
Well, it's time Gto switch to whiskey, we've been Fdrinking beer all Gnight
WGe're all half dead and them that's left is Dspoilin' for a fight

Well, it's time Gto switch to whiskey, we've been Fdrinking beer all Gnight
And It’s Gtime to switch to whiskey, we've been
dFrinkin beer all nGight.
