Poison Whiskey Lyrics

Tishamingo Poison Whiskey

Daddy was a Cajun baby, raised on Southern land
And so my kinfolks tell me, was a street-fightin' man.
Well, they rushed him down to see the doctor
Well the doctor just checked his head
The only thing that was wrong with him was
Johnny Walker's Red
He drank ol' poison whiskey
And it killed him dead.

ah, yeah

It happened back in the bayou baby, many years ago
Satan came to take him and he did it real slow
Well, they rushed him back to see the doctor
The doctor just shook his head,
"Twenty years of rotgut whiskey
Done killed this poor man dead."
He drank ol'e poison whiskey
And it killed him dead.

Take a tip from me, people... brothers, can't you see
Ain't no future in ol' poison whiskey.
They're gonna rush you down to see the doctor,
The doctor's gonna shake his head.
The only thing he's gonna tell ya
Stop drinkin' Johnny Walker's Red
Don't drink poison whiskey, don't you drink it boy.
