Lyrics for Song: Blood And Whiskey
Lyrics for Album: Gang's All Here [1999]
urban legend and american foldlore,
tells of a man who was one of a kind
a sure gent with a flair for fashion,
prone to violence at any time
a legendary hooligan
with a thirst for blood and a taste for booze
this brave and daring brutal soul,
he lived and fought by his own rules
shake
the hand that shook the world
shoe-shine boy to champion,
he'd fought and beaten many foes
his calling card was a kick to the groin,
and a broken bottle to the bridge of the nose
he aimed to kill when he took to the ring,
this boston strong boy loved to fight
on more than one occasion,
a bout was stopped to save an opponent's life
shake
the hand that shook the world
for blood
and whiskey with a bareknuckled fist
