Drinking Songs




The spiritual " Swing Low Sweet Chariot " is used as a drinking song among hash harriers with obscene gestures associated with the lyrics. This song is heightened to a Drinking Game by air force fighter pilots. The first person to fail to correctly make the gestures has to buy the next round of drinks.

Songs common to all these groups are The Lady in Red, The Goddamned Dutch , I Used To Work In Chicago , In Mobile, The S&M Man, Seven Drunken Nights , etc.
