Pete Seeger

Peter "Pete" Seeger (born May 3, 1919) is an iconic American folk singer. A fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, he also had a string of hit records during the early 1950s as a member of The Weavers, most notably their recording of Lead Belly's "Goodnight, Irene", which topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950. Members of The Weavers were blacklisted during the McCarthy Era. In the 1960s, he re-emerged on the public scene as a prominent singer of protest music in support of international disarmament, civil rights, and environmental causes. more »

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If you don't give me rye
Whiskey I surely will die

If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom and never come up

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If you don't give me rye
Whiskey I surely will die

Way up on Clinch Mountain I wander alone
I'm drunk as the devil, just leave me alone

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, it's whiskey I cry
If you don't give me rye
Whiskey I surely will die

I'll eat when I'm hungry
I'll drink when I'm dry
If a tree don't fall on me
I'll live 'til I die

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, it's whiskey I cry
If you don't give me rye
Whiskey I surely will die

It's whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If you don't give me rye
Whiskey I surely will die
