Oh, whisky, you're the devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter
You're spunkier nor tae
Oh, whisky, you're me darlin', drunk or sober
Oh, now brave boys, we're on for marchin'
Off to Portugal or Spain
The drums are beatin', banners flyin'
The devil a-home will come tonight
La, fare thee well
Wi' me tithery-aydel oodel-om-ah-dah
Me tithery-aydel oodel-om-ah-dah
Me right fol-tural laddie, oh, there's whisky in the jar
Oh, whisky, you're the devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter
You're spunkier nor tae
Oh, whisky, you're me darlin', drunk or sober
Oh, the French are fightin' boldly
Men are dyin' hot and coldly
Give every man his flask of pow-dery
Spurlock on his shoulder
La, fare thee well
Wi' me tithery-aydel oodel-om-ah-dah
Me tithery-aydel oodel-om-ah-dah
Me right fol-tural laddie, oh, there's whisky in the jar
Oh, whisky, you're the devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter
You're spunkier nor tae
Oh, whisky, you're me darlin', drunk or sober
Says 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'll haunt you"
La, fare thee well
Wi' me tithery-aydel oodel-om-ah-dah
Me tithery-aydel oodel-om-ah-dah
Me right fol-tural laddie, oh, there's whisky in the jar
Oh, whisky, you're the devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter
You're spunkier nor tae
Oh, whisky, you're me darlin', drunk or sober
