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 on the tay
Oh, whiskey, you're me darling, drunk or sober
Oh, now, brave boys, we're on for marching off to Portugal and Spain
Bombs are beating, banners flying, the devil a home we'll have tonight
Oh, fare thee well
We'll be tithering, idling, doodling on the ***
We'll be tithering, idling, doodling on the ***
May I expel you, old laddy, 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 on the tay
Oh, whiskey, you're me darling, drunk or sober
Say the mother, do not wrong me, don't take me daughter from me
For if you do, I will torment you and I'll forget me ghost will haunt you
Oh, fare thee well
We'll be tithering, idling, doodling on the ***
We'll be tithering, idling, doodling on the ***
May I expel you, old laddy, 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 on the tay
Oh, whiskey, you're me darling, drunk or sober
Oh, the French are fighting boldly, men are dying hot and coldly
Give every man his flask of powder, his firelight on his shoulder
Oh, fare thee well
We'll be tithering, idling, doodling on the ***
We'll be tithering, idling, doodling on the ***
May I expel you, old laddy, 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 on the tay
Oh, whiskey, you're me darling, drunk or sober
