As I stepped out me house
I saw this man named clyde
He took me by the hand
Saying I'll take you for a ride
I said I cannot go there
There are things to get done
He said boy you must cause I ain't got a son

There's a little secret no one should know
Deep into the forest we both gotta go
I show you the way I earn my daily bread
But dare not to reveal it
Or you gonna loose your head

I make barrels of whiskey
It ain't no champagne
It's served in our brothels
To keep away the pain
What I share with you my lad
Is the biggest secret I've ever had

See the soldiers at war on the battle field
They've got more than a gun
My whiskey is their shield
Look at the crippled
And wounded down the street
A port to hell
And a bottle to their feet
You don't leave a child
Or a sweetheart behind
This is our secret vow so boy don't be blind
