Lyrics
They hit you high, they hit you high
john was the first one to pull you down
then reached up and got your brother gin
They hit you low, whiskey on the shelf
It s a shame the way they did you in, in walked henry Wynonie, penelope got you and passed you right back
Whiskey on the shelf, you were so quiet there by yourself Whiskey, passed you to hazel
You were so quiet there by yourself, now look at everybody
In walked henry, things were fine til they took you down Wynonie, he was next in line if the juice ran out
You were so quiet there by yourself, you were so quiet there by yourself, opened you up and passed you around
She took a bottle and hit him in the jaw, frank s so drunk he can hardly see Harris, you were so quiet there by yourself
Whiskey whiskey on the shelf, things were fine til they took you down, opened you up and passed you around
that s when the neighbors called the law
Now look at everybody, in walked henry, things were fine til they took you down
John never did nothin wrong in his life, grandfather wine knew without a doubt
Frank s so drunk he can hardly see, you were so quiet there by yourself
You were so quiet there by yourself, opened you up and passed you around, and opened you up and passed you around
Things were fine til they took you down, she took a bottle and hit him in the jaw
Penelope got you and passed you right back, now he s in a corner with the policeman s wife Whiskey, they hit you fast and they hit you slow
You were so quiet there by yourself, you were so quiet there by yourself
The doorbell rang and what did you see, wondered if the party was going to last all night, whiskey whiskey on the shelf
grandfather wine knew without a doubt
opened you up and passed you around
Opened you up and passed you around, frank s so drunk he can hardly see Whiskey, trying to make love to penelope
In walked henry, opened you up and passed you around Wynonie, opened you up and passed you around
Wondered if the party was going to last all night, john never did nothin wrong in his life, they reached on the shelf and grabbed your brother
Passed you to hazel, they reached on the shelf and grabbed your brother, they ve got real tight
Whiskey on the shelf, they ve got real tight Whiskey, passed you to hazel
Grandfather wine knew without a doubt, and opened you up and passed you around
You were so quiet there by yourself, they hit you fast and they hit you slow
whiskey on the shelf
Now look at everybody, opened you up and passed you around
Frank s so drunk he can hardly see, they hit you fast and they hit you slow Quiet, they hit you high
whiskey whiskey on the shelf
The doorbell rang and what did you see, it s a shame the way they did you in
They hit you high, grandfather wine began to tremble with fright, things were fine til they took you down
they reached on the shelf and grabbed your brother
That s when the neighbors called the law, penelope got you and passed you right back, whiskey on the shelf
he took one drink and he started to clown
you were so quiet there by yourself
you were so quiet there by yourself
Grandfather wine knew without a doubt, in walked henry Harris, whiskey on the shelf
they reached on the shelf and grabbed your brother
Now look at everybody, you were so quiet there by yourself, things were fine til they took you down
now look at everybody
John was the first one to pull you down, opened you up and passed you around Wynonie, things were fine til they took you down
Frank s so drunk he can hardly see, frank s so drunk he can hardly see
The doorbell rang and what did you see, he took one drink and he started to clown
Grandfather wine knew without a doubt, penelope got you and passed you right back
you were so quiet there by yourself
Things were fine til they took you down, that s when the neighbors called the law, he took one drink and he started to clown
Passed you to hazel, opened you up and passed you around Harris, the doorbell rang and what did you see
now they want to start a fight
grandfather wine knew without a doubt
john never did nothin wrong in his life
They hit you fast and they hit you slow, things were fine til they took you down
They hit you low, it s a shame the way they did you in, that s when the neighbors called the law
