Whiskey You're the Devil

Oh, now brave boys, we're on for marchin'

Off to Portugal and Spain

The drums are beating, banners flyin'

The devil at home will come tonight

Love, fare thee well

With me tiddery idle loodle la dem da

Me tiddery idle loodle la dem da

Me right fol tor ra laddy o

There's whiskey in the jar

Oh, whiskey, you're the devil

You're leading me astray

Over hills, and mountains, and to Amerikay

You're sweeter, stronger, decenter

You're spunkier than tea

Oh, whiskey, you're me darling, drunk or sober

Said the mother

"Do not wrong me

Don't take me daughter from me

For if you do, I will torment you

And after death, me ghost will haunt you"

Love, fare thee well

With me tiddery idle loodle la dem da

Me tiddery idle loodle la dem da

Me right fol tor ra laddy o

There's whiskey in the jar

Oh, whiskey, you're the devil

You're leading me astray

Over hills, and mountains, and to Amerikay

You're sweeter, stronger, decenter

You're spunkier than tea

Oh, whiskey, you're me darling, drunk or sober

All the French are fighting boldly

Men are dying hot and coldly

Give every man his flask of powder

His firelock on his shoulder

Love, fare thee well

With me tiddery idle loodle la dem da

Me tiddery idle loodle la dem da

Me right fol tor ra laddy o

There's whiskey in the jar

Oh, whiskey, you're the devil

You're leading me astray

Over hills, and mountains, and to Amerikay

You're sweeter, stronger, decenter

You're spunkier than tea
