Whiskey Riddle

by Nick Jaina

whiskey riddle rye rum
I've found myself a tune to hum
whiskey riddle rum rye
someone will love me before I die

he makes his hands with the ancient lands
tattooed with henna and rubber bands
he understands the physics of the bends
and he beats me at Jeopardy

whiskey riddle rye rum
I've found myself a tune to hum
whiskey riddle rum rye
someone will love me before I die

I stole a bottle of Cabernet
I jumped the turnstiles and ran away
I made the train but the doors were closed
and they turned me away

whiskey riddle rye rum
I've found myself a tune to hum
whiskey riddle rum rye
someone will love me before I die
