Rye Whiskey variant(?)

For least a couple of decades I have had a phrase and a tune knocking about in my head. It appears to be from the song Rye Whiskey but I have never been able to find it.

The phrase is:
Rye whiskey, Rye whiskey I like you pretty well
you've killed all my kinfolk and send them to hell

Can anybody tell me what song this comes from?

Thanks for any help,
Humbaba

Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, I cry,
If whiskey don't kill me, I'll live till I die...

verses with dead relatives from DT:

(Variant chorus)
Rye whisky, rye whisky,
You're no friend to me;
You killed my poor daddy,
Goddamn you, try me.

****
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, before me I see,
You killed my granddaddy, now durn you, try me.
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry,
If I don't get rye whiskey, I surely will die.
