I'm goin' down, down, down, down
The Whiskey River
Where the water runs brown
And the bells are ringin' in my head
They're ringin' in my head
Down, down, down, down
The Whiskey River
Whiskey River
Lord, it's gonna kill me dead
It's gonna kill me dead
I see across the floor, oh
There's sexy little Sherry
She gotta rich old man
She ain't gonna marry, yeah
Well, she be sittin' around
With the boys in the band tonight
Tonight
I see her makin' the rounds
With her poison in hand all night
Yeah, yeah, yeah
She takes me down, down, down, down
The Whiskey River
Where the water runs brown
And the bells are ringin' in my head
They're ringin' in my head
She takes me down, down, down, down
The Whiskey River
Whiskey River
Lord, it's gonna kill me dead
It's gonna kill me dead
Well, it's a 3: 45
I got my hands all over Sherry
Yeah, yeah, she's lookin' mighty fine
Feelin' kinda scary
Yeah, and with a bottle in her hand
She's holdin' it up to the light
And she says, hey, little boy
I'm gonna make you a man, I'm
Gonna make you a man, tonight
She take me down
She take me down the river
Down the Whiskey River
She's gonna bleed me dry
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
She take me down the river
Whiskey River
Whiskey River
Whiskey River
Yeah, Whiskey River
Lord, it's gonna kill me dead
