Whiskey You're The Devil

(Tin flute intro)

C
Now brave boys we're on the march
F           F
Off to Portugal and Spain
C
Drums F-beating, banners F-waving
    F                 F
The devil a-home will come tonight
C                                           F
La, fare thee well With me tither-y-eye dum dah
   Dm               F
Me tither-y-eye dum da
C
Me right fol tur-a ladee
            F              C
Oh, there's whiskey in the jar

Chorus:
     C                               F           C
Hey, whiskey you?re the devil You?re leading me astray
C                        F
O'er hills and mountains into Amerikay
C                                        F             C
Your sweetness from the bleachner You're spunkier than tea,
C                                       F  C
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: [C,C,F,C]
