Whiskey River take my mind
Don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey River don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me

Whiskey River take my mind
Don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey River don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me

I'm drowning in a Whiskey River
Bathing my memory mind wetness [incomprehensible]
Feeling the amber current
Flowing from my mind
A warm an empty heart
You left so cold

Whiskey River, take my mind
Whiskey River, take my mind
Don't let her memory torture me
Don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey River, don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me

Oh, Whiskey River, take my mind
Don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey River, don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me

Whiskey River, take my mind
Don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey River, don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me

Oh, Whiskey River, take my mind
Don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey River, don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me

Whiskey River, take my mind
Don't let her memory torture me
Whiskey River, don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me

Whiskey River, take my mind
Don't let her memory torture me
Oh, Whiskey River, don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
