Gi´ Us A Dram

Gi´ Us A Dram

Real Mckenzies (The)
(album: Loch´d & Loaded)

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
