Hey! Whiskey o'er the devil, you're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains into a merry cay
You're sweeter, stronger, dastener, you're spunky, aren't you?
Oh, whiskey o'er me darlin', drunk or sober
Oh, now, brave boys, we're on for marchin' off to Portugal and Spain
Drums are beatin', banners climb, the devil a home we'll have to dine
All fairly well
With me tithery-idly-doodle-***-a-da, me tithery-idly-doodle-***-a-da
Fair Ike's fault you're a laddie, all this whiskey in the jar
Hey! Whiskey o'er the devil, you're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains into a merry cay
You're sweeter, stronger, dastener, you're spunky, aren't you?
Oh, whiskey o'er me darlin', drunk or sober
Said the mother, do not wrong me, don't take me daughter from me
For if you do, I will torment you and I will get me ghostful
All fairly well
With me tithery-idly-doodle-***-a-da, me tithery-idly-doodle-***-a-da
Fair Ike's fault you're a laddie, all this whiskey in the jar
Hey! Whiskey o'er the devil, you're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains into a merry cay
You're sweeter, stronger, dastener, you're spunky, aren't you?
Oh, whiskey o'er me darlin', drunk or sober
Oh, the French are fighting boldly, men are dying hot and coldly
Give every man his flask of powder, he's well up on his shoulder
All fairly well
With me tithery-idly-doodle-***-a-da, me tithery-idly-doodle-***-a-da
Fair Ike's fault you're a laddie, all this whiskey in the jar
Hey! Whiskey o'er the devil, you're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains into a merry cay
You're sweeter, stronger, dastener, you're spunky, aren't you?
Oh, whiskey o'er me darlin', drunk or sober
