Whisky and Hooch

from Howlin' Heavin' Shanties by Junkman's Choir

/

lyrics

I’m sailing o’er to summer on striven waters. A shireboy abroad Orcadian winds. I’ll be riding on the stang of Langalbuinoch. Me, a band, and twa auld raucle friends.
I’m going out tonight wi’ Whisky and Hooch, Black out seein’ the lights wi’ Whisky and Hooch. I’m wise tae the lies o’ Whisky and Hooch but I’ll be getting sae pished, fae mixing ma drinks. Wi’ Whisky and Hooch.
They left tae hitch up tae the island Kerries. Kerry Mennoch, Kerry Lamont. Ach, I forget their names. Tellin’ deeds of foreign deep-co bravery, and how they nearly even once went tae Kames.
The thirty shooters we shot backfired blanks in my memory, and a morning purse was raided for the homeward freight. We sang the sunken songs of warrior poets and stoittered ramstam hame tae Ayrshire late.
