lyrics

The lads they called me out one night/ Drink that barrel of whiskey boy/ Didn’t know if I could do it but I’s determined to enjoy/ I rolled my sleeves up & got my good cup down/ I stared into that barrel & then I went to town!

CHORUS
I drank a barrel of whiskey, it’s a task I had to face/ Lesser men won’t do it, but it’s something I embraced/ I drank a barrel of whiskey, it’s gone without a trace/ My friends all cheered me on as I won that drinking race

The first few sips were easy, then I felt the burn/ My throat was in flames, but I kept chugging turn by turn/ I started seeing double, then threes and fours and fives/ I’s halfway through that barrel, but I was still alive

Three-quarters through the barrel, I thought that I might burst/ What started as a game had now become a curse/ I dove into the barrel leading head first/ Thankfully I am a man who’s blessed with a great thirst

BRIDGE
I stumbled & I swayed/ Soldiered on despite the pain/ Feeling weak & weary/ I’s determined to maintain

I made it to the end, felt like a champ oh YES!/ I might never drink that much again, but I sure loved the test/ I drank the whole damn barrel, it was good to the last drop/ I drank & drank & drank & drank & drank until I stopped!
