{i}Words from Mike Cross album "Live and Kickin'"{/i}
[D]Early one day the sun wouldn't shine
I was [G]walking down the [D]street not [A]feeling too fine
I [D]saw two old men with a bottle between 'em
And [G]this was the [D]song that I [A]heard them [D]singing
[D]Lord preserve us and protect us,
[Em]We've been drinking [A]whiskey 'fore breakfast.
{i}2nd half - Instrumental{/i}
Well I [D]stopped by the steps where they was sitting
And I [G]couldn't [D]believe how [A]drunk they were getting
I [D]said "old men, have you been drinking long?"
They said [G]"just long e-[D]nough to be [A]singing this [D]song"
[D]Lord preserve us and protect us,
[Em]We've been drinking [A]whiskey 'fore breakfast.
{i}2nd half - Instrumental{/i}
Well they [D]passed me the bottle and I took a little sip
And it [G]felt so [D]good I just [A]couldn't quit
I [D]drank some more and next thing I knew
There were [G]three of us [D]sitting there [A]singing this [D]tune
[D]Lord preserve us and protect us,
[Em]We've been drinking [A]whiskey 'fore breakfast.
{i}2nd half - Instrumental{/i}
[D]One by one everybody in the town
They [G]heard our [D]ruckus and they [A]came around
And [D]pretty soon the streets, they were a-ringin'
With the [G]sound of the [D]whole town [A]laughing and [D]singin'
[D]Lord preserve us and protect us,
[Em]We've been drinking [A]whiskey 'fore breakfast.
