lyrics

Oh, whiskey you're the devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
To Amerikay
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter
And spunkier than tea
Oh whiskey you're my darling drunk or sober

Now brave boys, we are on the march
We're off to Portugal and Spain
Drums are beating, banners flying
The Devil a' home will come tonight
So love, fare thee well
With me tither a ma dither a ma da
Tither a ma dither a ma da
Me rikes fall too ra laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar

The French are fighting boldly
Men are dying hot and coldly
Give every man his flask of powder
His firelock for his shoulder
Love, fare thee well
With me tither a ma dither a ma da
Tither a ma dither a ma da
Me rikes fall too ra laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Says the mother, do not wrong me
Don't take my daughter from me
For if you do I'll torment you
And after death my ghost will haunt you
Love, fare thee well
With me tither a ma dither a ma da
Tither a ma dither a ma da
Me rikes fall too ra laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar
