The ol' neon signs are lighted so I'd best get to the bar
After all I've got position I must hope
There's a stool that waits for me after eight that's where I'll be
Sittin' four seats down on Whiskey Row
Oh hey the stools are seldom vacant you might say we've bought
If you miss one night pack up the stools as you go
And I'm not braggin' when I say that I'm sure well on my way
Cause I'm four seats down on Whiskey Row
Four seats down on Whiskey Row and I don't have but six more seats to go
Then I'll be down about as far as I can ever go
Four seats down on Whiskey Row
I've heard tell the people drinkin' till it soon controls their brain
But I guess one look at me proves that ain't so
Why I don't forget a thing like I told ol' what's his name
I'm four seats down on Whiskey Row
I just heard some news that's awful the bartender just told me
Late yesterday they laid away ol' Joe
Well I'm as sorry as can be but look what that does for me
I'm five seats down on Whiskey Row
Five seats down on Whiskey Row now I don't have but five more seats to go
Then I'll be down about as far as I can ever go five seats down on Whiskey Row
And I don't have very far to go five seats down on Whiskey Row
