Gi' Us A Dram - The Real McKenzies

Do I remember not so many years ago

Me & the young McKenzies skulkin' at the whisky store

Just wee nippers (sippers) much too young to buy a dram

We came up with a daring plan & pulled a whisky scam

We don’t care, what anybody say

Just gi' us a dram o' whisky & we’ll get down the way

Well if she wants to go, she’s gonna let you know

But gi' her a dram o' whisky and she’s common with the night

We’re all running strong & charging up the hills of life again

I take a look around & some of us are dead

So let us raise a glass of kindness all around

And drink to us, still standing & all of us in the ground

We don’t care, what anybody say

Just gi' us a dram o' whisky & we’ll get down the way

And if you go away, I’ll miss you every day

And gi' us a dram o' whisky for the teardrops in my eyes

Bring out the whisky, bring out the pode

Bring out the whisky, 'cos you never ever know if it be your time to go So gi' us a dram o' whisky & we’ll get down the way

A glistening drop o' whisky like a teardrop in my eye

So gi' us a dram o' whisky so it don’t hurt if I die
