Hey, whiskey, you're the devil, you're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains into a merry cay
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter, you're spunky, aren't you?
Oh, whiskey, you're me darlin', drunk or sober
Oh, now, brave boys, we're on for marchin' off to Portugal and Spain
Drums are beatin', banners flyin', the devil a home we'll have to dine
Oh, fare thee well
We'll be tithery, idly, doodle, namida
Me tithery, idly, doodle, namida
Me likes Faltura, laddie, all this whiskey in the jar
Hey, whiskey, you're the devil, you're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains into a merry cay
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter, you're spunky, aren't you?
Oh, whiskey, you're me darlin', drunk or sober
Say the mother, do not wrong me, don't take me daughter from me
But if you do, I will torment you and I'll forget me ghost will haunt you
Oh, fare thee well
We'll be tithery, idly, doodle, namida
Me tithery, idly, doodle, namida
Me likes Faltura, laddie, all this whiskey in the jar
Hey, whiskey, you're the devil, you're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains into a merry cay
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter, you're spunky, aren't you?
Oh, whiskey, you're me darlin', drunk or sober
Oh, the French are fighting boldly, men are dying hot and coldly
Give every man his flask of powder, his square lock on his shoulder
Oh, fare thee well
We'll be tithery, idly, doodle, namida
Me tithery, idly, doodle, namida
Me likes Faltura, laddie, all this whiskey in the jar
Hey, whiskey, you're the devil, you're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains into a merry cay
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter, you're spunky, aren't you?
Oh, whiskey, you're me darlin', drunk or sober
