Whiskey, you're the devil, you're leadin' me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Americae
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter, you're spunkier than tae
O whiskey, you're my darlin' drunk or sober
Oh, now, brave boys, we're on the march
And off to Portugal and Spain
The drums are beating, banners flying
The devil ahome will come tonight
Love, fare thee well
With me tithery eye the doodelum the da
Me tithery eye the doodelum the da
Me rikes fall tour a laddie oh
There's whiskey in the jar. Hey!
Whiskey, you're the devil, you're leadin' me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Americae
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter, you're spunkier than tae
O whiskey, you're my darlin' 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 tithery eye the doodelum the da
Me tithery eye the doodelum the da
Me rikes fall tour a laddie oh
There's whiskey in the jar. Hey!
Whiskey, you're the devil, you're leadin' me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Americae
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter, you're spunkier than tae
O whiskey, you're my darlin' drunk or sober
The French are fighting boldly
Men are dying hot and coldly
Give ev'ry man his flask of powder
His fairlock on his shoulder
Love, fare thee well
With me tithery eye the doodelum the da
Me tithery eye the doodelum the da
Me rikes fall tour a laddie oh
There's whiskey in the jar. Hey!
Whiskey, you're the devil, you're leadin' me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Americae
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter, you're spunkier than tae
O whiskey, you're my darlin' drunk or sober |
