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
