But i saw this was longer And sure tis a wonder That i ended up here Now im typin poetic As i ponder the metric And the rhythm and rhyme Of whiskey good ser.

Since there are too many lyrics available: Heard lyrics for this magnificent version: "Let your quacks and newspapers be cutting their capers Bout curing the vapors the scratch and the gout With their powders and potions, their serums and their lotions Upholding their notions, they're mighty put out. Would you know the true phyic to bother pathetic To pitch to the divil, cramp, colic and spleen You'll find and I think if you take a wee drink With your mouth to the brink of a glass of whiskeen Stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys Oh what botheration, there's no dose in the nation Can give consolation like whiskey me boys. So come guess me this riddle, what beats pipes and fiddles What's stronger than mustard and milder than cream What best wets your whistle, what's clearer than crystal Sweeter than honey and stronger than steam What'll make the dumb talk, what will make the lame walk, What's the elixir of life and philospher's stone And what helped Mr. Brunnell to dig the Thames Tunnel Sure wasn't it whiskey from ould Inishowen So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys Oh lord, I'd not wonder, if lightning and thunder Was made from a plunder of whiskey me boys"
