This old house is filled with stories

That live here on this river bed

The wood and the brick and the mortar

Containing the secrets of men

Oh, tell me a tale

Of the good and the bad that's been done

Of the peace and the war

That's been drowned here before

With whiskey on the rum

Oh, these past years ain't been easy

Been working my hand to the bone

Been losing my way

And I need an escape to remind me that I'm not alone

Oh, tell me a tale

Of the good and the bad that's been done

Of the peace and the war

That's been drowned here before

With whiskey on the rum

Oh, tell me a tale

Of the good and the bad that's been done

Of the peace and the war

That's been drowned here before

With whiskey on the rum

Oh, tell me a tale

Of the good and the bad that's been done

Of the peace and the war

That's been drowned here before

With whiskey on the rum

Yeah the troubles I faced

Have become apart of this place

Give me whiskey

Oh, give me whiskey

Give me whiskey on the rum
