Deadman’s Company Lyrics by Trevor Lewington

2016

[Verse 1]
I was walking on the oceanside
A strange thing I did see
A bottle with a note inside
Had washed up on the beach

Was a letter from a stranger
With money free to spend
He asked a simple favor
So I did just what he said

[Chorus]
He said:

Have a drink on me
And I'll be on my way
I'll travel cross the ocean
Till this whiskey bottle breaks

Won't you have a drink on me
In the morning set me free
I bet you've never had a drink
In a dead man's company


[Verse 2]
It said he lived a reckless life
Astray in younger years
Whiskey, wine, and cigarettes
And chased it down with beer

But he dreamt of one day travelling
A chance he never had
So they finished off the bottle
And they filled it with his ash

[Chorus]
He said:

Have a drink on me
And I'll be on my way
I'll travel cross the ocean
Till this whiskey bottle breaks

Won't you have a drink on me
In the morning set me free
I bet you've never had a drink
In a dead man's company

[Verse 3]
The note it bore no address
So his home I did not know
Maybe far afield
Or a stranger down the road

But the whole thing made me wonder
Where I'm going when I die
If a whiskey bottle's Heaven
I can leave here with a smile

[Chorus]
He said:

Have a drink on me
And I'll be on my way
I'll travel cross the ocean
Till this whiskey bottle breaks

Won't you have a drink on me
In the morning set me free
I bet you've never had a drink
In a dead man's company

[Chorus]
He said:

Have a drink on me
And I'll be on my way
I'll travel cross the ocean
Till this whiskey bottle breaks

Won't you have a drink on me
In the morning set me free
I bet you've never had a drink
In a dead man's company
