Mandolin Orange - Waltz About Whiskey Lyrics
Once the getting was good, but now the getting's got gone
I'm going downtown just to tie one on
I'm oak aged and sour, I'm going down by the hour
Now I'm as blue as night is long
And turn these sad songs to lullabies
I don't need much of nothin', except for all your lovin'
And the waltz about whiskey on ice
One quarter should do, number A32
A little truth from the jukebox should make it alright
And as the booze sets in, I'm getting high again
To the waltz about whiskey on ice
So won't someone dance with me to a waltz about whiskey
I don't need much of nothin', except for all your lovin'
And the waltz about whiskey on ice
I remember the night she sat down beside me
She cried love was a ring that won't end, well I was handed a lie
Now the only thing I know of a ring is the circle my glass leaves behind
So won't someone dance with me to a waltz about whiskey
And turn these sad songs to lullabies
I don't need much of nothin', except for all your lovin'
And a waltz about whiskey on ice

Mandolin Orange Waltz About Whiskey Comments
In my humble opinion this is by far e best version - cleaner, more acoustic than on the album.
They always give the impression that the vocals are kinds "half-hearted", but they work perfectly - especially for this very well crafted song - simply storyline: - man loses woman, goes out to get drunk, but - so much more in the detail. I've been a "kinda" mandolin player for many years although as I work with a mando player, I don't get much chance to play mine anymore, but Andrew Marlin's style actually taught me stuff about about double stopping etc. Thank you for the music you two! When are you coming to the UK?
Emily Frantz is Dreamy!!! 😍😍😍
I know we're supposed to reduce the use of the R word, but 45 people are fucking retarded!
Nice work.
I love every song I've heard by mandolin orange I'll forever be a fan of your timeless music I hope it passes on to your children
Amazing song ever adore so much thank you Mandolin Orange
So Good!
I find reactions to Emily interesting. Objectively speaking she is not a great beauty. But the whole is larger than the sum of its parts here. Somehow she conveys the sense she is totally devoted to pleasing her audience, and that sense makes her even more appealing than she already is. And she makes a perfect match for Andrew, who is one of the most comfortable and attractive singers in folk music. What a pair!
so if ya play music ya stop getting a hair cut
What a majestic sound.
Nothing like a beautiful girl who can sing.
wow, y'all are the new Gilliam Welch Dave Rawlings...you have an intimate vibe that is just compelling. I have to watch. wonderful music, thank you.
Willie should cover this.
Could someone tell me what guitar Emily is playing?
It is a guitar Andrew built
Best duo of all time! I never get tired of listening to your music.
Stunning talent, beautiful music, beautiful young couple.
Im fan of Mandolin Orange, from Brasil. I think it the Emily especially beauty!
Unbelievable. Found this (and all their performances) recently on YouTube. This song in particular reminds me of Long Black Veil originally from Johnny Cash, and later redone by others including Dave Matthews Band. Haunting and honest with tragedy. There is nothing like great story telling through song.
The chemistry is good with these two. They are perfect together. Beautiful music for the soul.
made my evenings.... <3
i live in Brasil , but i like so much this music....congratulations
Smooth as it gets. Thank goodness young folks like these, are keeping acoustic music alive.
On the bright side, it's better than no ring at all
love it!
What a beauty.... I mean the unbearded one.
This is very addictive :)
constantly filling my life with positive music and love 💙 mandolin orange always
I don't know if these guys are together... but the way he looks at her says they are.
they are
Best duo you will ever hear ...
Know them but I think they're not as good as Mandolin :) my opinion ...
I hope you'll consider performing in Kansas City. Call Frank at Knuckleheads; he has a great venue. I'll be seeing Greg Brown there next month; hope to see you both there someday, too!
Very nice song. This girl can flat sing harmony.
my favorite music .love you both so much.listen to you always.
wildly entertaining
reeking with chemistry par excellence
they blew the doors open on my heart
straight away
let the Lord do that
Seriously.. she is so beautiful and so talented. Dream girl Emily Frantz
gorgeous!!!!
I doubt his Momma ever recovered from giving birth to a boy holding a Mandolin.
@Louann Garceau Louann, I saw him last fall, and he told me he's only been playing it about 6 years or so !
@Louann Garceau for that comment alone i bow before you in AWE!
So beautiful !!!
Just discovered 'Mandolin Orange'. What a wonderful revelation to have come across something so clarifying. Sweet sound and their playing is 'exemplar'
You guys are so refreshing!
Officially on my bucket list. Get a bit closer to KCMO. Knuckleheads?
They're playing in Fayetteville/Little Rock area soon. I'm still thinking about it, but running out of time
Going to see them tonight in Harrisburg!
Great stuff kids!
Wonderful...thank you!
Wish I could like, do multiple likes on songs... to signify the level of the like. Cause I'd give this one a few.
Great sound, great foundation, and then add lyrics to link that sound, off to their site to find tickets
I had the privilege of seeing Mandolin Orange live a few nights back. They have a strong connection which you can witness on the video. They have wonderful voices and play beautiful songs.
pure love awesome
Something so fine about 2 people getting their instruments & voices into beautiful harmonies. Enjoyed your work!
pretty sound. love this song.
That's so sweet!
probably want to correct the "about" info at some stage :p
so sweet. so simple. so beautiful.
Very very nice. Really enjoyed listening....Wishes you a Merry Christmas....Alyre & Lorenzo Old Time Music.
Saw you guys open for the Steep Canyons. They should have opened for you! Come back to Charlotte soon. Hope to see you at Merlefest.
love it!
Beautiful song!
