Lyrics

Daddy was a Cajun, raised on Southern land And so my kinfolks tell me, was a street-fightin' man Well, they rushed him down to see the doctor "Hey doctor, won't you check his head?" The only thing that was wrong with him Was Johnny Walker's Red He drank ole poison whiskey 'Til it killed him dead It happened back in the bayou many years ago Satan came to take him and he did it real slow Well, they rushed him back to see the doctor The doctor just shook his head, "Twenty years of rotgut whiskey Done killed the poor man dead" He drank ole poison whiskey 'Til it killed him dead Take a tip from me, people... brothers can't you see Ain't no future in ole poison whiskey They're gonna rush you down to see the doctor The doctor's gonna shake his head The only thing he's gonna tell ya "Stop drinkin' Johnny Walker's Red Don't drink poison whiskey, don't you drink it boy"
