Great Big Sea Jakey's Gin Lyrics

When I was a young man I was led astray
I met with a body down in Logy Bay
We went out in a weather
We wore out our shoes,
And up Kingsway road for a drink or two

Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten
Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten

Some people say that the pinky is fine
Others will swear by a drop of moonshine
But as for myself I've a bottle of each,
mixed in with a gallon of dipper or screech

Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten
Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten

Its the old shavin' lotion that's made me this way
Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea
And when in the evening when we're feeling fine
We'll stop into Jakey's for icons and shine

Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten
Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten

Its the old shavin' lotion that's made me this way
Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea
And when in the morning when I'm feeling rough
I curse, ol' Jakey who sold me this stuff

Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten
Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten
Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten
Drink 'er up boys it's well after ten

Oh, whisky you're the devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter, you're s____ier than tae
Oh, whisky you're my darling drunk or sober
