Blood And Whiskey
Dropkick Murphys Song Lyrics

Urban legend and american folklore,

Tells of a man who was one of a kind

A sure gent with a flair for fashion, prone to violence at any time

A legendary hooligan with a thirst for blood and a taste for booze

This brave and daring brutal soul, he lived and fought by his own rules

Shake the hand that shook the world

Shoe-shine boy to champion, he'd fought and beaten many foes

His calling card was a kick to the groin, and a broken bottle to the bridge of the nose

He aimed to kill when he took to the ring, this boston strong boy loved to fight

On more than one occasion, a bout was stopped to save an opponents life

Shake the hand that shook the world

For blood and whiskey with a bare knuckled fist
