Whiskey You’re the Devil – Clancy Brother’s

Whiskey [C] you’re the devil, you’re [F] leadin’ me astray [C]
Over [F] hills and [C] mountains and [G] to Americae
You’re [C] sweeter, stronger, decenter,
[F] you’re spunkier than tae [F]
O [C] whiskey, you’re my darlin’ drunk or [G] sober [C]
Oh, [C] now, brave boys, we’re on the march [C]
and off [G] to Portugal and [F] Spain
The [C] drums are beating, banners flying,
the devil [G] ahome will come tonight
[C] Love, fare thee well,
[C] with me tithery eye the doodelum the da
[G] Me tithery eye the doodelum the [F] da,
[C] Me rikes fall tour a laddie oh
There’s [G] whiskey in the [C] jar. Hey!

Chorus

Said the mother: [C] “Do not wrong me,
don’t take my [G] daughter [F] from me
For if [C] you do I will torment you,
[Am] and after death a ghost will haunt you
[C] Love, fare thee well,
[C] with me tithery eye the doodelum the da
[G] Me tithery eye the doodelum the [F] da,
[C] Me rikes fall tour a laddie oh
There’s [G] whiskey in the [C] jar. Hey!

Chorus

[C] The French are fighting boldly,
[G] men dying hot and [F] coldly
[C] Gives ev’ry man his flask of powder,
[Am] his farlock on his shoulder
[C] Love, fare thee well,
[C] with me tithery eye the doodelum the da
[G] Me tithery eye the doodelum the [F] da,
[C] Me rikes fall tour a laddie oh
There’s [G] whiskey in the [C] jar. Hey!
