Whiskey You're The Devil

(Tin flute intro)

D

Now brave boys we're on the march

A G

Off to Portugal and Spain

D

Drums a-beating, banners a-waving

G A

The devil a-home will come tonight

D A

La, fare thee well With me tither-y-eye dum dah

Em G

Me tither-y-eye dum da

D

Me right fol tur-a ladee

A D

Oh, there's whiskey in the jar

Chorus:

D G D

Hey, whiskey you?re the devil You?re leading me astray

D A

O'er hills and mountains into Amerikay

D G D

Your sweetness from the bleachner You're spunkier than tea,

D A D

Ah, whiskey you're me darlin?, drunk or so-ber

The French are fighting boldly

Men are dying hot and coldly

Give every man his flash, gunpowder

His firelock on his shoulder

La, fare thee well With me tither-y-eye dum dah

Me tither-y-eye dum da

Me right fol tur-a ladee

Oh, there's whiskey in the jar

Chorus:

Break: (same as verse)

Chorus:

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 will haunt you"

We're off, fare thee well With me tither-y-eye dum dah

Me tither-y-eye dum da

Me right fol tur-a ladee

Oh, there's whiskey in the jar

Chorus:

Outro: [D,D,A,D]
