tanglefoot - the whisky trick كلمات الأغنية

chorus:
we’ve been working all week and the boys need a drink
a couple quarts of whisky, we’d be in the pink
but we got no money and there’s nothing to sell
and a lumberjack’s credit is worthless

three long months we’ve been cuttin’ down the pine
but we won’t get our money for six weeks’ time
“tonight there’s no whisky,” says young willie cline
“and we got no money to spend!”

i says “fetch me a kettle and a lesson you’ll learn
how a clever lumberjack keeps the money that he earns
ol’ keller taught me this, now i’ll teach you in turn
we’ll rob joe mccafferty’s bar!”

into the bar with young willie in tow
the kettle in hand to mccafferty i go
“we’ll be needing some whisky for the boys, don’t ya know?
three quarts in the kettle, if you please!”

mccafferty pours us three quarts neat
and we tell him we’ll come back and we’ll pay him in a week
he says “ye stupid lumberjack, you’ve got some cheek!”
and he takes his three quarts back

… do you think a lumberjack is no brain and all brawn?
are you thinking that the drink that we got is all gone?
but we had two quarts of water in the kettle all along
and what’s left is three-fifths whisky!

chorus:
we’ve been working all week and the boys need a drink
here is your whisky, now we’re in the pink
we’ll drink even when there’s no money about
for a sly lumberjack gets his whisky without!

we’ve been working all week and the boys need a drink
here is your whisky, now we’re in the pink
we’ll drink even when there’s no money about
for a sly lumberjack gets his whisky without!
