Whiskey
Jolly Jackers
The daytime ran fast, but the nights just stood
So I went to a bar near my home
And I met this guy, Jamie, a decent fellow. He said:
’Come here, my friend, you look so sad
Surely I can help you make your bad times pass
Come here, my friend, you look so sad
Just drink it up and you’ll forget!’
The next day I met Jamie again
But this time he brought along Johnny, his friend.
I started to talk about how life’s hard on me
These two guys were quietly listening to me. They said:
‘Come here, my friend…’
The next day I met Jamie again
But this time he brought along a lot of his friends
Johnny and Jim and Jack joined the gang
And they became a bunch of good friends. They said:
‘Come here, my friend…’
So we’ve been together since I don’t know when
I do the talking and they just listen.
I lost my job, too, but I have these friends.
They surely can make my bad times pass! They say:
‘Come here, my friend…’
