Lyrics

Daddy was a Cajun, baby, raised on southern land And so my kinfolks tell me, was a street-fighting man Well, they rushed him down to see the doctor Doctor checked his head The only thing that was wrong with him was Johnny Walker Red He drank ol' poison whiskey And it killed him dead Happened back in the bayou many years ago Satan came to take him, and he did it real slow They rushed him down to see the doctor Doctor just shook his head 20 years of rotgut whiskey killed this poor man dead He drank ol' poison whiskey And it killed him dead Killed him dead Killed him dead Take a tip from me, people Brothers, can't you see? Ain't no future in poison whiskey They'll rush you down to see the doctor Doctor's gonna shake his head The only thing that he's gonna tell ya "Stop drinking that Red" Don't drink poison whiskey Don't you drink it, boy
