Jenny Gray's Whiskey - Michael Kelly - (Andy M. Stewart cover)
One of the lesser known gems of Andy Stewart's work, I rediscovered this one recently when listening through my playlist of Silly Wizard albums.
While I do really like the original version of it, I felt that the pace of the song was almost dirge-like. For a song praising good whiskey, this felt a little out of place, so I decided to experiment with putting just a little more bounce into the song.

"JENNY GRAY'S WHISKEY" - written by Andy M. Stewart
One Sunday morn as I roved out
wi' the road being dark and dusty, o
Well, a friend and I stepped in to an inn
for a horn of Jenny Gray's whiskey, o
[Chorus:]
Ah for gin she keeps the royal blue
and the best of all Scots whiskey too.
No cordial cure is half so pure
as a horn of Jenny Gray's whiskey, o.
Now there's some that likes
tae quarrel and bite
whenever they get tipsy, o.
Ah, but gie me a lass and a full flowing glass
filled up with a horn of whiskey, o.
(Chorus)
So come all ye misers great and small
for your gold is getting dusty, o.
Don't sit and think but come and drink
of a horn of Jenny Gray's whiskey, o.
(Chorus)
One Sunday morn as I roved out
wi' the road being dark and dusty, o
Well, a friend and I stepped in to an inn
for a horn of Jenny Gray's whiskey, o
(Chorus)
