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
