[Verse 1]
This old house is filled with stories
That live here on this river bed
The wood and the brick and the mortar
Containing the secrets of men
[Chorus]
Oh, tell me a tale
Of the good and the bad that's been done
Of the peace and the war
That's been drowned here before
With whiskey on the rum
[Verse 2]
Oh, these past years ain't been easy
Been working my hand to the bone
Been losing my way
And I need an escape to remind me that I'm not alone
[Chorus]
Oh, tell me a tale
Of the good and the bad that's been done
Of the peace and the war
That's been drowned here before
With whiskey on the rum
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
Oh, tell me a tale
Of the good and the bad that's been done
Of the peace and the war
That's been drowned here before
With whiskey on the rum
Oh, tell me a tale
Of the good and the bad that's been done
Of the peace and the war
That's been drowned here before
With whiskey on the rum
[Outro]
Yeah the troubles I faced
Have become apart of this place
Give me whiskey
Oh, give me whiskey
Give me whiskey on the rum
