Lyrics

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