Blood and Whiskey

[Verse 1]

Urban legend and American folklore

Tells of a man who was one of a kind

A sure gent with a flair for fashion

Prone to violence at any time

A legendary hooligan

With a thirst for blood and a taste for booze

This brave and daring brutal soul

He lived and fought by his own rules

[Chorus]

Shake the hand that shook the world

[Verse 2]

Shoeshine boy to champion

He'd fought and beaten many foes

His calling card was a kick to the groin

And a broken bottle to the bridge of the nose

He aimed to kill when he took the ring

This Boston strong boy loved to fight

On more than one occasion

A bout was stopped to save an opponent's life

[Chorus]

Shake the hand that shook the world

For blood and whiskey with his bare-knuckled fist

[Bridge]

With his fist

Shook the world

And with his fist

He shook the world

[Chorus]

Shake the hand that shook the world

For blood and whiskey with his bare-knuckled fist

Shake the hand that shook the world

For blood and whiskey with his bare-knuckled fist
