When trouble comes knockin'
Beatin' down your front door
When the devil starts stalkin'
One thing holds the cure

Drink your whiskey down
Put sorrow in the ground
Drink your whiskey down
When no life can be found
Drink your whiskey down

If you've had an evil woman
Use you and leave you for dead
Don't hang your head in sorrow
Just pick up that bottle instead

Drink your whiskey down
Put sorrow in the ground
Drink your whiskey down
When no life can be found
Drink your whiskey down

When those cold winds are blowing
Good times have come and went
Life's dealt a losing hand, child
But one thing remains a sure bet

Drink your whiskey down
Put sorrow in the ground
Drink your whiskey down
When no life can be found
Drink your whiskey down

Drink your whiskey down
Let's all drink our whiskey down
Come on now boys let's drink our whiskey down
