Whiskey Basin Blues Lyrics - John Denver

This song was first released on the Farewell Andromeda Album. It is the only album it has been released on. 

On a snow covered night 

Up in Eastern Wyoming 

Another lazy day 

Lookin' for the sun 

In a draughty old cabin 

Outside a whiskey basin 

Another shining light 

And a good man on the run

There's a lady back in Laramie 

And her reason no one else can see 

For him to spend 

The winter on his own 

Nothing much for him to do tomorrow 

Just a matter of survival 

Another friendly fight 

In a life chocked full of fun 

Yodalling 

It's a special kind of medicine 

And all that you can do is win 

Though it tastes so sweet 

You can refuse 

Photos 

Put your heart on the table 

Fill your fountain with moonshine 

Another empty case of 

The Whiskey Basin Blues 

Yodalling
