The Last Whiskey

My jug is near empty, my cup is not full

 But I'll share my last whiskey with you

And we'll tell the old stories, we've heard them before

 But we'll make them feel like new


<chorus>

Raise a glass to the days just past

 And drink a cheer to the friends we hold dear

The future's uncertain, the past is not clear

 I will share my last whiskey with you


We can ramble and rave, for there's worlds to be saved

 Let us talk to the wee sma' hours

We've got tall tales to tell, from heaven and hell

 Have a whiskey and tell us yours

<chorus>

-

There is much to be said, for a bottle of red

 And there's much to be said for beer

But when your amusin', excusin' or boozin'

 It's whiskey you'll want for a cheer

<chorus>

<last chorus>

Raise a glass to the days just past

 And drink a cheer to the friends we held dear

For the future's uncertain, and the past is not clear

 I will share my last whiskey with you

 I will share my last whiskey with you

The Hogmanay (New Year's Eve, La Saint-Sylvestre) version

My jug is near empty, my cup is not full

 But I'll share my last whiskey with you

And we'll tell the old stories, we've heard them before

 But we'll make them feel like new

<chorus:>

Raise a glass to the days just past

 And drink a cheer to the bonnie new year

The future's uncertain, the past is not clear

 I will share my last whiskey with you

We can ramble and rave, for there's worlds to be saved

 Let us talk to the wee sma' hours

We've got tall tales to tell, from heaven and hell

 Have a whiskey and tell us yours

There is much to be said, for a bottle of red

 And there's much to be said for beer

But when your amusin', excusin' or boozin'

 It's whiskey you'll want for a cheer

<chorus>

<last chorus:>

Raise a glass for the days just past

 And drink a cheer to the friends we held dear

For the future's uncertain, and the past is not clear

 I will share my last whiskey with you

 I will share my last whiskey with you.
