Some like wines--both white and red
And some like brews from grain..,
Some like Scotch and Irish
And plenty choose champagne.
Rum by many is preferred
And brandy makes its boast.
The Dutch and English like their gin
And ale goes well with roast.
Requests for rye in Eastern states
Quite frequently are heard;
And the hillfolk of the southlands
Make corn a favored word.
But to folks throughout the nation--
Both rural folks and urban,
The king of distillations
Is the whisky known as Bourbon.
