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
Whiskey, won’t you come and take my troubles?
Cause I can’t seem to do it on my own
In the morning there is hours and infinity
The starlit evening’s come to take me home
I ain’t got a dime in my pocket
And I just stepped on my last cigarette
But there’s a bar downtown that’ll give me credit
A home away from home, away I went

A bottle of grenadine lasts a long time, to mix up a "Tequila Sunrise."
Make it with fresh-squeezed orange juice, or go with the bottled juice, It's great either way.
Use the same ingredients to make a "Tequila Sunrise Margarita," skip the liquor for a Sweet Sunrise, or go with whiskey in a "Sour Sunrise." Other fruit juices work, too. Enjoy tart grapefruit in a "Ruby Rum Sunrise."
“Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite, and furthermore, always carry a small snake.”

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
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
I’m drowning in a whiskey river
Bathing my mem’ried mind in the wetness of its soul
Feeling the amber current flowin’ from my mind
And leaving a heart you left so cold
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
I’m drowning in a whiskey river
Bathing my mem’ried mind in the wetness of its soul
Feeling the amber current flowin’ from my mind
And leaving a heart you left so cold
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
Whiskey River, take my mind
Whiskey River, take my mind
