Whiskey That Sips
Ol' Jack Cody was a hard drinkin' cuss
He loved red wine and the whiskey that sips
Met a young lady who made a big fuss
An' gave it all up for a taste of her lips
He stopped his gamblin' and runnin' around
Cleaned up well and started drinkin' sody
Friends shook their heads at this new man they found
Wondered what happened to ol' Jack Cody
Then one day she took her love out the door
Left the old cowboy just scratchin' his head
She went with a gambler, a red vest he wore
An' ol' Jack Cody had one empty bed
Now ol' Jack Cody drinks whiskey that sips
An' don't give a damn for ruby red lips
