Whiskey Johnny/Reuben Ranzo

Whisky Johnny

1. Oh whisky is the life of man,

Chorus: Whisky, Johnny!

Oh I drink whisky when I can

Chorus: Whisky for me Johnny-o!

 

2. If the river was whisky and I was a dog

Chorus: Whisky, Johnny!

I’d jump into and never come up.

Chorus: Whisky for me Johnny-o!

 

3. Om him’len meg eit ønske gir,

Chorus: Whisky, Johnny!

Det er at havet whisky blir.

Chorus: Whisky for me Johnny-o!

 

4. Mens whisky var min faders fryd,

Chorus: Whisky, Johnny!

Stjal whisky bort min moders dyd.

Chorus: Whisky for me Johnny-o!

 

 

Reuben Ranzo

 

Oh, Ranzo was no sailor
Chorus: Ranzo, me boys, Ranzo

He shipped onboard a whaler

Chorus: Ranzo, boys, Ranzo

 

Ja Ranzo var en fusker

Chorus: Ranzo, me boys, Ranzo

Som alle sjøfolk husker

Chorus: Ranzo, boys, Ranzo

 

Og sjømann var han ikke

Chorus: Ranzo, me boys, Ranzo

Han kunne bare drikke

Chorus: Ranzo, boys, Ranzo

 

Ja Ranzo ennu minnes

Chorus: Ranzo, me boys, Ranzo

I mangt et skip han finnes

Chorus: Ranzo, boys, Ranzo
