Rye Whiskey

**Chords:**
G  C  G  D

G                       C
As I was a-walking down by the riverside
G                        D
I spied a young girl, she was so fair and fine
G                            C
She said, "Come and listen, I’ll tell you my story"
G                     D                G
And I’ll sing you a song about rye whiskey

G                         C
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey, I cry
G                            D
If you don’t give me rye whiskey, I surely will die
G                        C
I’ll drink when I’m thirsty, I’ll drink when I’m dry
G                      D                G
If the whiskey don’t kill me, I’ll live till I die

G                       C
If I had a dollar, I’d spend it all on you
G                        D
I’d buy you a bottle of that good rye too
G                       C
I’d take you dancing, I’d take you ‘round the town
G                    D                G
And I’d sing you a song when the sun goes down

G                         C
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey, I cry
G                            D
If you don’t give me rye whiskey, I surely will die
G                        C
I’ll drink when I’m thirsty, I’ll drink when I’m dry
G                      D                G
If the whiskey don’t kill me, I’ll live till I die
