Whiskey, You’re the Devil lyrics
by Marc Gunn
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 darlin’, drunk or sober
Oh now brave boys we’re on the march
Off to Portugal and Spain
The drums a-beating, the banners flying
The devil a-home will come tonight
Bridge:
Love fare thee well
With a tither-y-eye, the diddlum thе dah
Me tither-y-eyе, the diddlum the dah
Me right fol tur-a ladee
Oh, there’s whiskey in the jar
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 the ghost will haunt you”
The French are fighting boldly
Men dying hot and coldly
Give every man a flask of powder
A firelock upon his shoulder
