Lynyrd Skynyrd
Poison Whisky
(Ed King - Ronnie VanZant)
Daddy was a Cajun babe, raised on Southern land And so my kinfolks tell me, was a street-fightin' man. Well, they rushed him down to see the doctor "Hey doctor, check his head?" The only thing that was wrong with him Was ol' Uncle Johnny's Red He drank ole bootleg whisky Until it killed him dead.
It happened back in the bayou baby many years ago Satan came to take him and he did it real slow Well, they rushed him down to see the doctor The doctor just shook his head, "Twenty years of rotgut whisky Done killed this poor man dead." He drank ol' bootleg whisky And it killed him dead.
Take a tip from me, people... brother can't you see Ain't no future in ole poison whisky. They're gonna rush you down to see the doctor, The doctor's gonna check your head. The only thing he's gonna tell ya "Stop drinkin' Uncle Johnny's Red Don't drink poison whisky, don't you drink it boy
