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]
