(Ed King - Ronnie VanZant)

Daddy was a Cajunraised on Southern land
And so my kinfolks tell mewas a street-fightin man.
Wellthey rushed him down to see the doctor
"Hey doctorwon t you check his head?"
The only thing that was wrong with him
Was Johnny Walker s Red
He drank ole poison whisky
Til it killed him dead.

It happened back in the bayou many years ago
Satan came to take him and he did it real slow
Wellthey rushed him back to see the doctor
The doctor just shook his head
"Twenty years of rotgut whisky
Done killed the poor man dead."
He drank ole poison whisky
Til it killed him dead.

Take a tip from mepeople... brothers can t you see
Ain t no future in ole poison whisky.
They re gonna rush you down to see the doctor
The doctor s gonna shake his head.
The only thing he s gonna tell ya
"Stop drinkin Johnny Walker s Red
Don t drink poison whiskydon t you drink it boy.
