The Humours of Whiskey


The Humours of Whiskey

Who [You] can tell the true physic of all things prophetic [pathetic] And pitch to the divil, cramp, colic and spleen You'll know it I think if you take a big drink With your mouth to the brink of a jug of poteen. So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys Oh what moderation gives hope to a nation Or brings consolation like poteen me boys. No liquid cosmetic to lovers athletic Or bodies [ladies] pathetic can give such a bloom As the sweet by the powers in the garden of flowers E'er gave their own bowers such a darling perfume And this liquid so rare if you willingly share To be taking your hair when it's frizzled and dead Oh the sod has the merit to yield the true spirit So strong it will shake all the hairs from your head.

Then stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys Oh since its perfection, no doctor's direction Can cleanse the complexion like poteen me boys.

Come guess me this riddle, what beats pipes and fiddle What's hotter than mustard and milder [wilder] than cream What best wets your whistle, what's clearer than crystal What's sweeter than honey and stronger than steam.

So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys Oh lord, it's no wonder, if lightning and thunder Weren't made from the plunder of poteen me boys. You maidens pathetic, with lovers athletic For liquid cosmetic, you can't beat the drop With a glow to your cheek, it will make your heart leap It'll quiet a stallion or cure an old cob. At the mouth you would drool, be reduced to a fool You'd kick up your heels and you'd peel to the buff Then 'tis he'd be pathetic while you'd be athletic If only you'd take a few drops of the stuff.

Let philosophers dabble in science and babble 'Bout Oxy-gin, Hydro-gin, Nitro-gin's fame For their gin, to my thinking, is not worth the drinking Their labour's all lost and their learning a drame They may prate by the score of their elements four That all things earth, fire, air and water must be For their rules I don't care, for in Ireland I'll swear By St. Pat there's a fifth and that's whiskey, machree!
