John Banrock - She Loved Her Whiskey

She Loved Her Whiskey

I once loved a woman
I once called her mine
But she loved her whiskey
And cocaine and wine

She went to parties upside down
Dressing to undress the crowd
Oh but if angels could fly so high
She might still be mine

I once loved a woman
I once called her mine
But she loved her whiskey
And cocaine and wine

Sunshine and honey they had their time
when wandering eyes received a smile
But for the will of one broken guy
She might still be mine

I once loved a woman
I once called her mine
But she loved her whiskey
And cocaine and wine

A wanton woman of both sorrow and spice
That persistent friction that sculpted her life

I once loved a woman
I once called her mine
But she loved her whiskey
And cocaine and wine

The stress of the battle that she held within
Heavenly light against a dark vim
Oh if the river hadn’t run so wild
She might still be mine

I once loved a woman
I once called her mine
But she loved her whiskey
And cocaine and wine
