Lyrics

Hey, 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 darling, drunk or sober
 Oh, now brave boys, we're on for marchin'
 Off to Portugal and Spain
 Drums are beating, banners flyin'
 The devil at home will come tonight
 Love, fare thee well
 With me tiddery idle loodle la dem da
 Me tiddery idle loodle la dem da
 Me right fol tor ra laddy o
 There's whiskey in the jar
 Hey! 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 darling, 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 tiddery idle loodle la dem da
 Me tiddery idle loodle la dem da
 Me right fol tor ra laddy o
 There's whiskey in the jar
 Hey! 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 darling, drunk or sober
 Now, the French are fighting boldly
 Men are dying hot and coldly
 Give every man his flask of powder
 His firelock on his shoulder
 Love, fare thee well
 With me tiddery idle loodle la dem da
 Me tiddery idle loodle la dem da
 Me right fol tor ra laddy o
 There's whiskey in the jar
 Hey! 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 darling, drunk or sober
