Whisky You're the Devil

Oh now brave boys, you're marching off to foreign wars Drums a' beating, banners flying The Devil, tonight my home you'll see Love fare thee well Oh, whisky you're the devil, you're leading me astray Over hills and mountains and to Americay You're sweeter, stronger, decenter than any man my way Whisky you're my darling drunk or sober If you've no taste for whisky, let wormwood steal your soul If you're looking for false hearted girls The Devil, tonight my home you'll see Love fare thee well The sea's too full of witchcraft, you'll sooner sink than swim But if you reach the furthest shore The Devil, tonight my home you'll see Love fare thee well They say new friends are silver, and old friends they are gold But when your friends have drunk you dry The Devil, tonight my home you'll see Love fare thee well
