Whiskey, You're the Devil Songtext
von The Poxy Boggards

Oh! Whiskey, you′re the devil you're leadin′ me astray
Over hills and moutains and to Amerikay
You're sweeter, kinder, decenter, you're spunkier than tay
Oh! Whiskey you′re my darlin′ drunk or sober

So now brave boys, we're on the marchin′
Off to Portugal and Spain
Drums are beatin', banners flyin′
The Devil at home will come tonight
Oh, love fare thee well
With me tiddery idle loodle la dem da
Me tiddery idle loodle la dem da
Me right fol tor ra laddy o
There's whiskey in the jar

Oh! Whiskey, you′re the devil you're leadin' me astray
Over hills and moutains and to Amerikay
You′re sweeter, kinder, decenter, you′re spunkier than tay
Oh! Whiskey you're my darlin′ drunk or sober


Well the French are fightin' boldly
Men are dying hot and coldly
Give every man his flask of powder
His firelock on his shoulder
Oh, love fare thee well
With me tiddery idle loodle la dem da
Me tiddery idle loodle la dem da
Me right fol tor ra laddy o
There′s whiskey in the jar

Oh! Whiskey, you're the devil you′re leadin' me astray
Over hills and moutains and to Amerikay
You're sweeter, kinder, decenter, you′re spunkier than tay
Oh! Whiskey you′re my darlin' drunk or sober

Said the mother don′t you 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
Love fare thee well
With me tiddery idle loodle la dem da
Me tiddery idle loodle la dem da
Me right fol tor ra laddy o
There′s whiskey in the jar

Oh! Whiskey, you're the devil you′re leadin' me astray
Over hills and moutains and to Amerikay
You're sweeter, kinder, decenter, you′re spunkier than tay
Oh! Whiskey you′re my darlin' drunk or sober


Oh! Whiskey, you′re the devil you're leadin′ me astray
Over hills and moutains and to Amerikay
You're sweeter, kinder, decenter, you′re spunkier than tay
Oh! Whiskey you're my darlin' drunk or sober
