Hank III - mississippi mud

Whiskey Before Breakfast (usually instrumental)

 

Whiskey River (I'm drowning in a whiskey river,

Bathing my mem'ried mind in the wetness of its soul..)

 

Way Downtown (beefsteak when i'm hungry, whiskey when i'm dry)

 

Soldier's Joy (twenty five cents for the morphine, twenty five cents for the beer...)

 

Old Plank Road (fifteen pounds of meat a week, whiskey here to sell...)

 

a few of my favorite whiskey songs, all traditional except for the willie's whiskey river, and i guess uncle dave wrote plank road a long time ago.

[Mr._Natural]

Sunday Morning Cming Down - Mr. Cash (or Willie N.)

 

"Well, I woke up Sunday morning

With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.

And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,

So I had one more for dessert.

Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes

And found my cleanest dirty shirt.

Then I washed my face and combed my hair

And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day..."

Jerry Garcia and Dave Grisman did a nice one together too.

Sorry it was J.G. I was fuzzy this morning.

[Beck]

there's that John Lee Hooker song, "one bourbon, one scotch, and a beer" which is pretty driving blues. It's a throw the shots back kind of song..

[Mountain_Luvin]

A co-worker at the auto shop always theorized that would be tyhe way to go... trying to keep up with the song.
