    Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
    Humors of Whiskey (the)
    Let your quacks and newspapers be cutting their capers
    About curing the vapors the scratch and the gout
    With their medical potions, their serums and their lotions
    Upholding their notions, they're mighty put out.
    Who can tell the true physic to all that's pathetic
    And pitch to the divil, cramp, colic and spleen
    You'll know it I think if you take a big drink
    With your mouth to the brink of a jug of poteen
    So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
    For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
    Oh what botheration, no dose in the nation
    Can give consolation like poteen me boys.
    No liquid cosmetic to lovers athletic
    Or bodies pathetic can give such a bloom
    As the sweet by the powers in the garden of flowers
    Ever gave their own bowers such a darling perfume
    And this liquid so rare if you willingly share
    To be taking your hair when it's frizzled and dead
    Oh the sod has the merit to yield the true spirit
    So strong it will shake all the hairs from your head
    Then stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
    For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
    Oh since its perfection, no doctor's direction
    Can cleanse the complexion like poteen me boys
    While a child in me cradle, me nurse with her ladle
    Was filling my mouth with a notion of pap
    When a drop from her bottle fell into my throttle
    I stumbled and capered clean out of her lap
    On the floor I lay crawlin' and screaming and bawling
    'Til me mother and father were called to the fore
    All sobbing and sighing they feared I was dying
    But soon found I only was crying for more.
    So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
    For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
    Oh lord how they'd chuckle if babes in their truckle
    They only could suckle on poteen me boys
    Through my youthful aggression, through times of depression
    My childhood's impression still clung to my mind
    And at school or at college the basis of knowledge
    I never could gulp 'til with whiskey combined
    And as older I'm growing times ever bestowin'
    On Erin's potation, a flavor so fine
    And how ere they may lecture on jove and his nectar
    Itself is the only true liquid divine
    So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
    For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
    Oh lord, 'tis the right thing for courting and fighting
    There's nowt so exciting as poteen me boys.
    Come guess me this riddle, what beats pipes and fiddle
    What's hotter than mustard and milder than cream
    What best wets your whistle, what's clearer than crystal
    What's sweeter than honey and stronger than steam
    What'll make the lame walk, what will make the dumb talk,
    The elixir of life and philospher's stone
    And what helped Mr. Brunnell to build the Thames Tunnel
    Wasn't it poteen from ould Inisowen
    So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
    For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
    Oh lord, it's no wonder, if lightning and thunder
    Weren't made from the plunder of poteen me boys.
    You maidens pathetic, with lovers athletic
    For liquid cosmetic, you can't beat the drop
    With a glow to your cheek, it will make your heart leap
    It'll quiet a stallion or cure an old cob
    At the mouth you would drool, be reduced to a fool
    You'd kick up your heels and you'd peel to the buff
    Then 'tis he'd be pathetic while you'd be athletic
    If only you'd take a few drops of the stuff
    So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
    For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
    For there's nothing like whiskey to make maidens frisky
    It soon separates all the men from the boys.

    As a minor with parents who don't drink, I have a question. Is whiskey as good as this song makes it seem. Because every time I listen to this, I find myself reaching for a small glass bottle that isn't there, then getting sad because I miss something I've never known. Congrats to you, Colm, and to whoever wrote this, for thoroughly confluzzling me.

    • @AB-nu7wr

      As someone who drinks various types of Whiskeys/Bourbons/Scotches I will always remember what a wonderful lady at a distillery told me. "...it's only as good as the company you share it with". So they best way to enjoy it is with enjoyable company, but if you are alone then you'd hope to be happy and right with yourself.
      My words of caution would be that there IS such thing as too much of a good thing when it comes to whiskey (or any alcohol). So when you are of age, I'd recommend a visiting a distillery so you can learn about and respect this wonderful elixir. :)

    • @tylerwash2586

      There's an extremely strong drinking culture in Ireland. As the other commenters may have said it's mostly an acquired taste. "Stronger than steam" is accurate lol. And you're probably aware that alcoholism is a huge problem anywhere, so beyond for artistic purposes like here, I wouldn't romanticize drinking too much.

    354 good folks here on Sunday 14 November 2021, Colm's 28th birthday, for the premiere of "The Humours of Whiskey" (full version). Savannah & Colm are in Brighton at a hotel with "Nougat" the hotel cat! Their Air BnB ghosted them and they had to find a hotel after a full day of travelling. A most stressful day. *Happy Birthday.* Generous viewers donated a total of 421.99 to make this day even more special.

      Let your quacks and newspapers be cutting their capers
      About curing the vapors the scratch and the gout
      With their medical potions, their serums and their lotions
      Upholding their notions, they're mighty put out.
      Who can tell the true physic to all that's pathetic
      And pitch to the divil, cramp, colic and spleen
      You'll know it I think if you take a big drink
      With your mouth to the brink of a jug of poteen
      So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
      For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
      Oh what botheration, no dose in the nation
      Can give consolation like poteen me boys.
      No liquid cosmetic to lovers athletic
      Or bodies pathetic can give such a bloom
      As the sweet by the powers in the garden of flowers
      Ever gave their own bowers such a darling perfume
      And this liquid so rare if you willingly share
      To be taking your hair when it's frizzled and dead
      Oh the sod has the merit to yield the true spirit
      So strong it will shake all the hairs from your head
      Then stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
      For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
      Oh since its perfection, no doctor's direction
      Can cleanse the complexion like poteen me boys
      While a child in me cradle, me nurse with her ladle
      Was filling my mouth with a notion of pap
      When a drop from her bottle fell into my throttle
      I stumbled and capered clean out of her lap
      On the floor I lay crawlin' and screaming and bawling
      'Til me mother and father were called to the fore
      All sobbing and sighing they feared I was dying
      But soon found I only was crying for more.
      So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
      For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
      Oh lord how they'd chuckle if babes in their truckle
      They only could suckle on poteen me boys
      Through my youthful aggression, through times of depression
      My childhood'simpression still clung to my mind
      And at school or at college the basis of knowledge
      I never could gulp 'til with whiskey combined
      And as older I'm growing times ever bestowin'
      On Erin's potation, a flavor so fine
      And how ere they may lecture on jove and his nectar
      Itself is the only true liquid divine
      So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
      For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
      Oh lord, 'tis the right thing for courting and fighting
      There's nowt so exciting as poteen me boys.
      Come guess me this riddle, what beats pipes and fiddle
      What's hotter than mustard and milder than cream
      What best wets your whistle, what's clearer than crystal
      What's sweeter than honey and stronger than steam
      What'll make the lame walk, what will make the dumb talk,
      The elixir of life and philospher's stone
      And what helped Mr. Brunnell to build the Thames Tunnel
      Wasn't it poteen from ould Inisowen
      So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
      For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
      Oh lord, it's no wonder, if lightning and thunder
      Weren't made from the plunder of poteen me boys.
      You maidens pathetic, with lovers athletic
      For liquid cosmetic, you can't beat the drop
      With a glow to your cheek, it will make your heart leap
      It'll quiet a stallion or cure an old cob
      At the mouth you would drool, be reduced to a fool
      You'd kick up your heels and you'd peel to the buff
      Then 'tis he'd be pathetic while you'd be athletic
      If only you'd take a few drops of the stuff
      So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
      For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
      For there's nothing like whiskey to make maidens frisky
      It soon separates all the men from the boys
