Chorus:
D A D D7
You'd better stop that drinkin' Whiskey Willy
G D
'Cause your hands are shakin' and you're walkin' like a wreck,
G D Em
Your heart is breakin' and you're lookin' like heck
D A D
Better tell that gal you've let her go
D A D D7
I seen ol' Whiskey ol' Willy in the barroom
G D
With his eyes a'shinin' at all the pretty maids
G D Em
They run away 'cause they was all afraid
D A D
That ol' wild Whiskey Willy would bring 'em all harm
[Refrão] D A D D7
I seen ol' Whiskey, ol' Willy with his woman
G D
She could drink more liquor than ninety-two men
G D Em
She called him a lover, she called him a friend
D A D
Left ol' wild Whiskey Willy in the barroom
[Refrão]
D A D D7
I seen ol' Whiskey, ol' Willy down at the AA
G D
He was swillin' that coffee, here's what he had to say:
G D Em
"I closed up the barn door, the horses got away."
D A D
I seen ol' wild Willy at the AA
