(Ed King - Ronnie Van Zant) Daddy was a Cajun, raised on Southern land And so my kinfolks tell me, was a street-fightin man. Well, they rushed him down to see the doctor Hey doctor, wont you check his head? The only thing that was wrong with him Was Johnny Walkers Red He drank ole poison whiskey Til it killed him dead.
It happened back in the bayou many years ago Satan came to take him and he did it real slow Well, they rushed him back to see the doctor The doctor just shook his head, Twenty years of rotgut whiskey Done killed the poor man dead. He drank ole poison whiskey Til it killed him dead.
Take a tip from me, people... brothers cant you see Aint no future in ole poison whiskey. Theyre gonna rush you down to see the doctor, The doctors gonna shake his head. The only thing hes gonna tell ya Stop drinkin Johnny Walkers Red Dont drink poison whiskey, dont you drink it boy.
