If it hadn't been for whiskey and ale

[Chorus] If it hadn't been for whiskey and ale I'd be married and locked in a jail Where did I wander? Where did I roam? Found me the joy in a pint and a home If it hadn't been for whiskey and ale I'd be married and stuck in a tale Where did I wander? Where did I go? Found me a bar with a fine warm glow [Verse 1] He came to town like a blast from the breeze He danced through the pubs with the greatest of ease His flask was his charm and his grin was his cheer He’d toast to the night with a song and a beer [Chorus] If it hadn't been for whiskey and ale I'd be married and locked in a jail Where did I wander? Where did I roam? Found me the joy in a pint and a home If it hadn't been for whiskey and ale I'd be married and stuck in a tale Where did I wander? Where did I go? Found me a bar with a fine warm glow [Verse 2] He left delight everywhere that he went The hearts of the lads and the lasses were bent They all raised their mugs and they danced through the night To songs of the drink and the morning light [Chorus] If it hadn't been for whiskey and ale I'd be married and locked in a jail Where did I wander? Where did I roam? Found me the joy in a pint and a home If it hadn't been for whiskey and ale I'd be married and stuck in a tale Where did I wander? Where did I go? Found me a bar with a fine warm glow (Repeat chorus as desired.)
