Lyrics

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 tae Whiskey, you're me darling drunk or sober Now brave boys, we're on the march Off to Portugal and Spain The drums are beating, banners high And the Devil a-home will come tonight So love, fare thee well With a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da With a too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da Me rikes fall too ra laddie-o There's whiskey in the jar 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 tae Whiskey, you're me darling drunk or sober The French are fighting boldly Men are dying hot and coldly Give every man his flask of powder A firelock on his shoulder And then love, fare thee well With a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da A too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da Me rikes fall too ra laddie-o There's whiskey in the jar 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 tae Whiskey, you're me darling drunk or sober Mother, do not wrong me Don't take me daughter from me For if you do, I'll torment you When I'm dead my ghost will haunt you And it's love, fare thee well With a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da A too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da Me rikes fall too ra laddie-o There's whiskey in the jar 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 tae Whiskey, you're me darling drunk or sober
