WHISKY YOU'RE THE DEVIL Artist: Bella Hardy [amended by Gayle Wade] Come on brave boys, we're marching off to foreign wars Drums a' beating, banners flying The Devil is there to guide your swords. Love fare you well CHORUS: Oh, whisky you're the devil, you're leading me astray Over hills and mountains and to Americay You're sweeter, stronger, decenter than any man my way Whisky you're my darling drunk or sober If you've no taste for whisky, let wormwood steal your soul If you're looking for false hearted girls The Devil, tonight my home you'll see Love fare you well CHORUS The sea's too full of witchcraft, you'll sooner sink than swim But if you reach the furthest shore The Devil is there to take you in. Love fare you well CHORUS They say new friends are silver, and old friends they are gold But when your friends have drunk you dry The Devil is there to take your soul. Love fare you well CHORUS x 3: Oh, whisky you're the devil, you're leading me astray Over hills and mountains and to Americay You're sweeter, stronger, decenter than any man my way Whisky you're my darling drunk or sober from Gayle: The change I made is that in the original version, the third line of every verse is the same "The Devil, tonight my home you'll see". In my opinion, that only fits the second verse, so I wrote some different lines for the other verses. Bella Hardy recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2_Yxbk-Qo4
