Friday the thirteenth, full moon, what a momentous late summer night to ride my Hawg, pegged flat out, in the soft moonlight, This one’s for all the great whiskey men I’ve known over the years. Especially my father and Danny Boy, a man who swore I sang better ‘n Elvis. Danny could swing a mop and tell a story better than most men I ever knew. He was a tiny man with a gigantic capacity for loyalty and whiskey. A good man, in my opinion, a better man than me. Whiskey Man Have ye ever seen it empty drink it from the bottom They fill it up and up ye go laughing in the barroom Have ye ever known a pretty girl who isn’t mad for dancing whose passion grows and up ye go whiskey man romancing This one’s for the whiskey man set ‘em up and knock ‘em down Another for the whiskey man ready for another round Sometimes he rides a bicycle and leaves it at the bar The police locked him up a lot he used to drive a car When he called the operator said, “Honey, please trace this call The lights are out, the gig is up but I sure had a ball,” yeah This one’s for the whiskey man set ‘em up and knock ‘em down Another for the whiskey man ready for another round we go He always gives me a listen never starts no trouble It sure gives me a lift-me-up to buy that man a double He’s grateful as a puppy a friend who has no friends whose toothless smile says, “Up we go” empty glasses end to end, yeah This one’s for the whiskey man set ‘em up and knock ‘em down Another for the whiskey man ready for another round we go again I found the whiskey man one day his head down on the bar I’d never had to hold him up that boiler maker star Laid him in a wooden box so when all the ladies passed they could have a look-me-see and kiss his whiskey ass, yeah This one’s for the whiskey man set ‘em up and knock ‘em down Another for the whiskey man ready for another round we go again and again and again Whiskey Man was published by Rebel Dawn 2005 http://wordwulf.com Inquiries: wordwulf@gmail.com © 2019 artwork, music and words conceived by and property of Tom (WordWulf) Sterner 2019 © Thank-you for the plays and requests.
