Subject: Lyr Add: WHISKEY YOU'RE THE DEVIL
Thought I'd find this rather common Irish song in the database
or at http://www.cs.hut.fi/~zaphod/search/all_titles.html
-Irish song collection, but no.
I know the chorus and one verse:

Whiskey you're the devil, you're leading me stray
Over hills and mountains and to Amerikay,
You're sweeter, stronger decenter you're spunkier nor tay
Oh whiskey you're me darlin' drunk or sober

Oh now brave boys we're on the march,
We're off to Portugal and Spain
The drums are beatin, banners flyin,
The devil a home will come tonight
So love, fare thee well
With me titheree um the doodle um the dah
Me titheree um the doodle um the dah
Me rikes fol too ra laddy oh
There's whiskey in the jar
