Lyrics
Well, early one day the sun was shinin'
I was walkin' down the street not feelin' too fine
I saw two old men with a bottle between 'em
This is the song I heard them singin'
"Lord preserve us and protect us
We've been drinkin' whiskey for breakfast"
Well, I stopped by the steps where they were sittin'
And I couldn't believe how drunk they were gettin'
I said, "Old men, you've been drinkin' long"
They said, "Long enough to start singin' this song"
"Lord preserve us and protect us
We've been drinkin' whiskey for breakfast"
Well, they passed me the bottle, said, "Take a little sip"
And it felt so good that I just couldn't quit
So I drank a little more and next thing I knew
There were three of us sittin' there singin' this tune
"Lord preserve us and protect us
We've been drinkin' whiskey for breakfast"
Well, one by one everybody in the town
Heard our ruckus and they all came down
And pretty soon all the streets were ringin'
With the sound of the whole town laughin' and singin'
"Lord preserve us and protect us
We've been drinkin' whiskey for breakfast"
Yes, "Lord preserve us and protect us
We've been drinkin' whiskey for breakfast"
