Clancy Brothers - Whiskey You're The Devil lyrics

rate me

Whisky you're the devil

You're leading me astray

Over hills and mountains

And to Amerikay

You're sweeter, stronger, decenter,

And spunkier than tea

Oh whisky you're my darling drunk or sober

Now brave boys, we're on for march

Off to Portugal and Spain

Drums are beating, banners flying

The Devil all home we'll come tonight

Love, fare thee well

With me tithery-aye me doodle-ah-m'dah

Me tithery-aye me doodle-ah-m'dah

Me rikes fall to ra laddie-o

There's whisky in the jar

Hey! Whisky you're the devil

You're leading me astray

Over hills and mountains

And to Amerikay

You're sweeter, stronger, decenter,

And spunkier than tea

Oh whisky you're my darling 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

An' after death, my ghost will haunt you

Love, fare thee well

With me tithery-aye me doodle-ah-m'dah

Me tithery-aye me doodle-ah-m'dah

Me rikes fall to ra laddie-o

There's whisky in the jar

Hey! Whisky you're the devil

You're leading me astray

Over hills and mountains

And to Amerikay

You're sweeter, stronger, decenter,

And spunkier than tea

Oh whisky you're my 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 tithery-aye me doodle-ah-m'dah

Me tithery-aye me doodle-ah-m'dah

Me rikes fall to ra laddie-o

There's whisky in the jar

Hey! Whisky you're the devil

You're leading me astray

Over hills and mountains

And to Amerikay

You're sweeter, stronger, decenter,

And spunkier than tea

Oh whisky you're my darling drunk or sober
