Me and my cousin Lendyl
|
Got lost hunting Coon
|
In the Carolina Mountains
|
Somewhere outside of Boone
|
We were just about to panic
|
When 'ol Lendyl saw the sign
|
It said, "Come on in! The whiskey's fine."
|
|
That old shack looked abandoned
|
Roof all fallin' in
|
Just some pertrified planks
|
and some rusty ol' tin
|
We both likely crapped our britches
|
when a voice from inside
|
yelled, "Come on in! The whiskey's fine."
|
|
Then those swinngin' doors opened
|
He staggered out on the porch
|
dressed just like Davey Crocket
|
Beard clear down to the floor
|
He said, "The band's drunk, beer's skunked,
|
and we ain't got no wine,
|
But come on in! The whiskey's fine."
|
|
We peeked in over his shoulder
|
And the first thing that we saw
|
Was a boy pickin' a banjo
|
In a pair of overalls
|
He said, "That boy is half crazy,
|
Plays the same song all the time,
|
But Hey come on in! The whiskey's fine."
|
|
"The food will make you sick,
|
The air will make you choke,
|
The waitress ain't a-workin',
|
And the Jukebox is broke."
|
|
He said, "the band's drunk, beer's skunked,
|
And we ain't got no wine,
|
But come on in! The whiskey's fine."
|
|
He said, "The pinballs won't roll,
|
The pool-table rocks,
|
And it hotter than two rats in heat,
|
Inside an old wool sock."
|
|
"I wouldn't drink the water,
|
It tastes like turpentine,
|
we're WAY overpriced,
|
and a little hard to find."
|
|
"The band's drunk, the beer's skunked,
|
And we ain't got no wine,
|
But come on in! The whiskey's fine."
|
|
"Ya'll come on it! The whiskley's fine!"
|
|
"Ya'll come on in!
|
|
aawwww, The whiskley's fine!"
|
|
"hehehehe"
