Bottle Of GinI'm going down to the corner
To buy me a bottle of gin
I'm going down to the corner
To buy me a bottle of gin
I'm thru with this whisky
Whisky drinkin's a sin
I'm tired of people talking 'bout the shape I'm in
Everything I LoveEverything I Love (Harley Allen and Carson Chamberlain)
Coffee keeps me up and I can't sleep.
When I drink too much then I can't eat.
Losing you has led me to believe
Everything I love is killin' me.
Everything I love is killin' me;
More Than JustTake clear water from the hill
And barley from the lowlands
Take a master craftsman's skill
And something harder to define
Like secrets in the shape of coppered still
Or the slow silent magic work of time
Whisky you're the devil in disguise
The Soldier MaidWhen I was a fair maid at the age of sweet sixteen,
From my parents I did run away a soldier to become;
I enlisted in the army a soldier for to be,
And they learned me to play upon the rub-a-dub-a-dee.
Chorus :
With my nice cap and feathers, if you could have only seen,
You'd have sworn that in your very heart a young man I had been;
The Summer Of '461. The summer was a long one, always on the run
Moving through the moonlit night, resting in the sun
They say that you were cheerful, like a child in chasing play
Or a gambler guessing recklessly when someone else will pay
2. Through the western highlands, round the western isles
An adventure trail through beauty over countless weary miles
Slipping like a shadow into legend out of chance

It's twelve and a tanner a bottle
That's what it's costin' today
Twelve and a tanner a bottle
Man it tak's a' your pleasure away
