Jim Beam explosion: Lightning strikes whiskey factory, making rivers flow with fire and alcohol

[JunkYardDogg]

24. "If the River Was Whiskey, I'd be a Diving Duck..."

from Traditional (meaning lyrics' original writer can't be ID'ed) Blues Songs,
so traditional, that every blues singer worth their salt, no make that their whiskey,
has sung these lyrics, :

from Muddy Waters (my main man) -"Rollin' & Tumblin' :

"...
Well, if the river was whiskey, and I was a divin' duck
Well, if the river was whiskey, and I was a divin' duck
Well, I would dive to the bottom, never would I come up"

sung & done by da best, especially the Cream version

and there is :
"If the River was Whiskey" by Charlie Poole

"If the river was whiskey and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom and I'd never come up
Oh, tell me how long have I got to wait?
Oh, can I get you now, must I hesitate?

If the river was whiskey and the branch was wine
You would see me in bathing just any old time
..."

and then there is the Taj Mahal song: "Divin' Duck Blues " :
"If the river was whiskey
I would be a diving duck
If the river was whiskey
I would be a diving duck
I would swim to the bottom, but I would drink my way up"
