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
