lyrics

I Prefer Rye
(words & music by Paul Jensen)

Once I took myself to the highlands
Met a little lass so very fine
But when she passed to me that Scottish whiskey
For my favorite spirit I did pine

It seems to me, when I’m in Tennessee
That corn grows straight to the sky
Thank you very kindly, there’s only one for me
By and by, I prefer rye

In St. Petersburg they take to drinkin’
With anyone, anywhere, at any time
They can keep that tasteless stuff while I’m thinkin’
A little hair of the dog will suit me fine

It seems to me, when I’m in Tennessee
That corn grows straight to the sky
Thank you very kindly, that vodka’s not for me
By and by, I prefer rye

Down in Mexico they drink tequila
Up north we take it with some salt and lime
But I don’t need that stuff with my fajita
Just malted barley mash with corn and rye

It seems to me, when I’m in Tennessee
You take the sweet, I’ll take the dry
Thank you very kindly, there’s only one for me
By and by, I prefer rye
