In Don’t Take My Whiskey Away From Me, Wynonie Harris sings:
Baby don’t take my whiskey ‘way from me.
Baby don’t take my whiskey ‘way from me.
You can help yourself to my last dollar,
If you touch my jug, you’re gonna hear me holler!
Don’t take my whiskey ‘way from me.
Not so long ago, I remember listening to this song and laughing at how ridiculous and the lyrics were. That was before someone started taking my whiskey away from me.
I suspect that someone drank some of my favorite Scotch while I was away on some recent travels. This made me feel like feel a little bit like hollering.
And, it presumably leaves you with a shortage of whiskey. Particularly unacceptable as tonight is Burns Night, the most appropriate night of the year for whiskey drinking.
Are you sure you didn’t just leave it in the schoolyard?
Are you sure you didn’t just leave it in the schoolyard?
Shuttup. :)
Thanks Hanna for the tip. There was plenty of whiskey to celebrate Burns Night last night. It went well!
