When I was a little boy
I used to take the time
To go and see old Rab McPhee
Down by the railway line
He was getting on in years then you know
And very fond of a drop of mountain whisky, and didn't he tell me so
He was always full of a good story, and he'd a nose like a weatherhane
He was never exactly drunk, but then he was never exactly sober anyway
And I often remember these words he used to say

Water is the strong stuff
It carries whales and ships
But water is the wrong stuff
Don't let it get past your lips
It rots your books
It wets your suits
Puts aches in all your bones
Dilute the stuff with whiskey
Aye, or leave it well alone

Chorus:
Whisky pure
O whisky you're
a charmer
Drunk or sober

Spare yourself contortions
With a drop of barley wine
A sensible precaution
To counteract the times
Brandy and rum are dandy for some
Wherever they might be sold
But a drop of mountain whisky
Isn't ot worth its weight in gold

Whisky, Nancy whisky
You're as sweet as the dew
I'm lonesome my darling
Since parting with you
Kiss me when you're with me
Be easy and free
and I'll throw away the bottle
and take you with me


Mirror lyrics:

and take you with me
and I'll throw away the bottle
Be easy and free
Kiss me when you're with me
Since parting with you
I'm lonesome my darling
You're as sweet as the dew
Whisky, Nancy whisky

Isn't ot worth its weight in gold
But a drop of mountain whisky
Wherever they might be sold
Brandy and rum are dandy for some
To counteract the times
A sensible precaution
With a drop of barley wine
Spare yourself contortions

Drunk or sober
a charmer
O whisky you're
Whisky pure
Chorus:

Aye, or leave it well alone
Dilute the stuff with whiskey
Puts aches in all your bones
It wets your suits
It rots your books
Don't let it get past your lips
But water is the wrong stuff
It carries whales and ships
Water is the strong stuff

And I often remember these words he used to say
He was never exactly drunk, but then he was never exactly sober anyway
He was always full of a good story, and he'd a nose like a weatherhane
And very fond of a drop of mountain whisky, and didn't he tell me so
He was getting on in years then you know
Down by the railway line
To go and see old Rab McPhee
I used to take the time
When I was a little boy
