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]
