 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)
