Songs about the demon drink

one evening in October, when I was far from Sober... and making my way home with manly pride. With manly pride.  My feet began to stutter, so i lay down in the gutter. and a pig came down and lay down by my side. by my side. And a lady passing by was heard to say... was heard to say. You can tell a man that boozes by the company he chooses... and the pig got up... and slowly walked away... he walked awayyy.

remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
And night goes into

Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
You made me happy

(CHORUS)
Oh, Brandy, well, you came
And you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Brandy, well, you kissed me
And stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh, Brandy

I'm standing on the edge of time
I walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world
Of uphill climbing
When tears are in my mind
And nothing's rhyming

(CHORUS)

(Oh, Brandy)
(Oh, Brandy)

Riding on a country bus
No one even noticed us
Yesterday's a dream
A feast of mourning
Crying on the breeze
The pain is calling

Oh, Brandy, well, you came
And you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Brandy, well, you kissed me
And stopped me from shaking
And I need you today

(CHORUS) to fade

Johnny Cash - Sunday Mornin' Coming Down

"Well I woke up Sunday mornin', with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more, for dessert
Then I fumbled through my closet, for my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt"

Nancy Whisky

I am a weaver, a Calton Weaver, I am a rash and a rovin' blade.
I've got siller in my pooches and I'll gang an' follow the roving trade.

Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whisky. Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o!

As I went in by Glasgow City, Nancy Whisky I chanced to smell.
I went in, sat doon beside her, seven long years I loo'ed her well.

Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whisky. Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o!

The mair I kissed her the mair I loo'ed her,
The mair I kissed her the mair she smiled.
Till I forgot my mither's teachin', Nancy soon had me beguiled.

Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whisky. Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o!

When I awoke in the early morning, to quench my thirst it was my need.
I tried to rise but I wisna able, Nancy had me by the heid.

Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whisky. Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o!

So come awa' landlady, what's the owin', tell me what there is to pay.
Fifteen shillings is the reckoning, pay me quickly and go away.

Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whisky. Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o!

I'll gang back tae the Calton weaving,
I'll surely mak the shuttles fly,
For I'll mak mair at the Calton weaving than ever I did in the roving way.

Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whisky. Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o!

So come all you weavers, Calton Weavers,
Come all you weavers where e'er you be.
Beware of Whisky, Nancy Whisky,
She'll ruin you as she ruined me.

Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whisky. Whisky, Whisky Nancy-o!
