Humours of Whiskey

Come guess me this riddle
What beats pipe and fiddle
What's hotter than mustard and
Milder than cream
What best wets your whistle
What's clearer than crystal
Sweeter than honey and stronger than steam

What can make the dumb talk
What can make the lame walk
What's the elixir of life
And philosopher's stone
And what helped Mr brunnell to
Dig the Thames Tunnel
Sure wasn't it whiskey from old Inis Eoghain

So we'll stick to the cratur
The best thing in nature
For sinkin' your sorrows and
Raisin' your joys and boys I half wondеr
If lighting and thunder
Was made from the plundеr of whiskey me boys
