about

oooh boy! I make this really great pie with whiskey which is sort of like an eggnog pie but with more whiskey in it. It probably doesn't all cook out. Additionally, each slice is served with a shot and some poured over the slice, and whiskey cream as well.
Obviously it's pretty popular and if you eat a whole one this way there might be problems.
Allow me to regale you with some of these shenanigans.

lyrics

B'fore I tell my tale
so glad I am I say
t' have th' privilege t' be
in this distinguished company

T' take wit' salt t'would not be bad
but tis better wit' a shot me lads
an' now I tell ye, free o' lies
some tales regarding whiskey pies

CH:
For it's whiskey pie for me
an' it's whiskey pie for ye
wheth'r tis bourbon, scotch or rye
you'll find it in tha' whiskey pie
oh! it's whiskey pie for ye
an' it's whiskey pie for me
wheth'r ye be drunk or dry
ye coul' do wit' a slice o' whiskey pie

With whiskey pie I get along
on whiskey pie I wrote this song
in spite o' whiskey I ne'er fergit
the fates so many men have met

I tell ye of ol' John
whae fer liquor so did lust
he says don' bake tha' pie, I'll drink it raw!
like it were nog wit' a bit o' crust
an' drank it doon he did
though th' bakin' it did lack
well he kiss'd th' roast an' ate 'is wyfe
an' now he's lyin' on 'is back


*CH*

An' when ol' Joe a-lay in bed
wit' an' achin' in 'is head
he ate 'im a three o'them
an' ne'er did he git up agin!
or when two pies by the mayor were giv'n
to a local clergyman
first he et' th' one an' then th' two
an' na' he's married to a mule

*CH*

I hope ye all a-know
th' purpose o' me tale
na' t' scare or nay deter
but encourage ye t' drink some more!

*CH*
