lyrics

Send your federal marshalls hoist your flag and call us rebels
Send your tax collectors we'll boil the tar we'll pluck the feathers

The said come to the quaker city as though our crops won't die as though this land knows pity
it's greed and power settling in we didn't fight and die for no king washington

Had them surrounded down at bower hill
Said raise a white flag no one gets killed

And now Washington is coming red coat and all we'll send him running
Hamilton wants our whiskey we don't need another white wigged monarchy

Bradford robbed the postman the people of Pittsburgh need a lesson
Come out ye wealthy turncoats you'll have naught left to distill but smoke
Send out the authors gagged and bound or tomorrow we burn Pittsburgh to the ground

We saw a white flag wave at Bower Hill
We lowered our rifles they fired at will

And now Washington is coming red coat and all we'll send him running
Hamilton wants our whiskey we don't need another white wigged monarchy

Raise the six stripes of our new nation high
It's for those six strips that McFarlane died

So send us good king Washington he'll find we've learned a few good tricks from him
Send your goddamned army we fought the british empire we don't scare easily

The Whiskey Boys are Coming
The Whiskey Boys are Coming
The Whiskey Boys are Coming
The Whiskey Boys are Coming

Cause Washington is coming red coat and all we'll send him running
Hamilton wants our whiskey we don't need another white wigged monarchy
