Here’s to the good old U.S of A.
On this Fourth of July, Independence Day
And here’s to the captains for getting us this far
Over eighteen hundred mile and every mile was hard
So tonight we celebrate for all the battles we have won
We’ll lift our spirits with the last of the whisky from the drums
CHORUS
Yes, we’re gonna drink a little Whisky Down boys
Drink a little Whisky Down
A cure for all that ails you
Drink a little Whisky Down
Drink a little Whisky Down boys
Drink a little Whisky Down
A cure that never fails you
Drink a little Whisky Down
VERSE
Here’s to Sergeant Floyd, God rest his soul
May he never be forgotten when this story’s told
And here’s to all you men so far we have survived
May we get to where we’re going and all come back alive
So let me hear that fiddle , everybody clap your hands
And we’ll dance around this fire all night long until nobody stands
CHORUS (Repeat)
VERSE
Here’s to all our loved ones we have left behind
Forever in our hearts and always on our minds
And here’s to the ladies who wait with faithful hearts
They carry on in the daytime and they lie alone at dark
So drink one for the heart ache another for the pain
And we’ll sing a song of good fortune and drive away this rain
CHORUS (Repeat)
One more round, one more round, one more round
We’re gonna drink a little Whisky Down
