Lyrics

Daddy was a Cajun, raised on Southern land So my kinfolks tell me, was a street-fightin' man Well, they rushed him down to see the doctor Well, the doctor just checked his head The only thing that's wrong with him was Johnnie Walker's Red He drank ol' poison whiskey And it killed him dead Happened back in the bayou, baby, many years ago Satan came to take him, and he took it real slow Well, they rushed him down to see the doctor Well, the doctor just shook his head Twenty years of rotgut whiskey Done kill this poor man dead He drank ol' poison whiskey 'Til it killed him dead Sweet guitar Take a tip from me, people Brothers, can't you see? Ain't no future in ol' poison whiskey Well, they're rushing down to see the doctor Well, the doctor just checked his head The only thing I'm gonna tell you, baby Stop drinkin' Johnnie Walker's Red Don't drink poison whiskey Don't you drink it boy Hm-mm Yeah
