Henry's Songbook

Give me strong whisky and weak women
Everything will be just fine
Give me weak whisky and a strong woman
You'll break this heart of mine
I love women, whisky too
When I get drunk there's nothing I won't do
Give me strong whisky and weak women
Everything will be just fine

Give me old whisky and young women
Everything's going my way
Give me young whisky and an old woman
There'll be hell to pay
Whisky's fine when it's aged in wood
When a woman's aged it's not quite as good
Give me old whisky and young women
Everything's going my way

Give me good whisky and bad women
Sit back and watch me scream
Give me bad whisky and a good woman
I won't do a thing
I like my whisky neat and strong
I like my women loving long
Give me good whisky and bad women
Everything's going my way

(as sung by Hamish Imlach)

 [1976:] Wegen des Calvinismus haben viele Schotten Schuldgefühle, was Sex betrifft. Um diese zu unterdrücken, trinken sie dann Whisky. Das geht so gut, daß sie vergessen, weshalb sie ihn trinken. Also bleibt Schottlands Bevölkerung gering. (Notes Hamish Imlach, 'Scottish Sabbath')
