Here they are
WHISKEY, YOU'RE THE DIVIL
Whiskey you're the divil, you're leading me astray Over hills and mountains unto Amerikay You're sweeter, stronger, dacenter You're spunkier nor tay Oh whiskey you're me darlin' drunk or sober.
Oh, now brave boys are off for marching Off to Portugal and Spain Drums are beating, banners flying The divil a home will come tonight
CHORUS: Oh, love fare thee well With me tiddery idle loodle lum a da Me tiddery idle loodle lum a da Me right fol torral addee o There's whiskey in the jar.
Said 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. CHORUS
Now the French are fightin' bouldly Men are dying hot and couldly Give every men his flask of powder His firelock on his shoulder. CHORUS
