D 
G 
D 
I eat when I'm
hungry,
I'll drink when I'm dry.
If the hard times don't kill me,
G 
D 
I'll live till I die.
Whiskey, you devil,
you've been my downfall.
You've kicked me and
you've cuffed me,
G 
D 
but I'll love you for all.
G 
D 
Rye whisky, rye whisky,
rye whisky, I cry
If I don't get rye whisky,
G 
D 
G 
D 
A 
D 
I surely will die
A way upon Rock Mountain
to wander alone
Drunk as the devil and a
G 
D 
long way from home
As the cold rain is a -fallin' to heaven
G 
I call Lord send me a shower of pure alcohol
D 
G 
D 
Rye whisky, rye whisky,
rye whisky, I cry
If I don't get rye whisky,
G 
D 
G 
D 
I surely will die
If the ocean was whiskey
and I was a duck
A 
D 
I'd dive to the bottom
G 
just to get one sweet
D 
But the ocean ain't whiskey
and I'm not a duck
So I'll play jack -o' -diamonds
G 
D 
and try to change my luck
G 
D 
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey,
rye whiskey, I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey,
A 
D 
G 
D 
I surely will die
Your parents don't like me,
A 
D 
they say I'm too poor
They say I'm not worthy
G 
D 
to enter your door
Well, I may drink and gamble,
but the money is my own
And if they don't like me,
G 
D 
they can leave me alone.
G 
D 
Rye whisky, rye whisky,
rye whisky, I cry.
If I don't get rye whisky,
A

I surely will die.
G 
D 
A 
D 
I'm stuck here in Naples,
not a dollar to my name
Between a rock and a hard place,
G 
now ain't that a shame
D 
But if I get some money,
I'll tell you what I'll do
I'll buy me rye whiskey
G 
D 
and I'll give some to you
G 
D 
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey,
rye whiskey, I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey,
G 
D 
A 
D 
I surely will die
You
