They get on me and want to know
Hank, why do you drink?
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
Over and over
Everybody makes my prediction
So if I get stoned, I’m just carrying on
An old family tradition
Whiskey River, take my mind
Don’t let her mem’ry torture me
Whiskey River, don’t run dry
You’re all I’ve got, take care of me
Great song.
Bourbon in Your Eyes by the Devil Doll.
Whiskey Fever by Dorothy.
Hank Jr. Whiskey bent and Hell bound.
It’s really according to individual taste, I believe.
I happen to partial to Maker’s Mark.

In 1980, country singer George Jones had been drunk for several days when he ran out of alcohol at his property in Florida. His wife at the time, Shirley Ann Corley, hid the keys to their cars to prevent him from continuing his drinking binge. A drunken George Jones decided that his ten-horsepower lawn mower could get him to the liquor store, a 5mph vehicle for an 8 mile commute. The trip was apparently successful, and Jones discusses the incident in his autobiography, I Lived To Tell It All. An unknown length of his drunken commute was caught on film.
Does “Big Rock Candy Mountain” count?
Probably my favorite version. Live in New jersey with Elvin Bishop on slide.
