Whiskey You're the Devil - The Muses

Whiskey, you’re the Devil

You’re leading me astray

Over hills and mountains

And to Amerikay

You’re sweet and stronger

You’re spunkier than tea

Oh whiskey, you’re my darling

Drunk or sober

Now the boys are on for march

And off to Portugal and Spain

Drums are beating, banners flying

The Devil at home will fight tonight

And love, fare thee well

With a too de li ana, too da li ana, da

A too de li ana, too da li ana, da

Me rikes fall ra ra laddie-o

There’s whiskey in the jar

Whiskey, you’re the Devil

You’re leading me astray

Over hills and mountains

And to Amerikay

You’re sweet and stronger

You’re spunkier than tea

Oh whiskey, you’re my darling

Drunk or sober

Said the mother «Do not wrong me

Do not take me daughter from me

For if you do I will torment you

And after my death my ghost will haunt you»

And love, fare thee well

With a too de li ana, too da li ana, da

A too de li ana, too da li ana, da

Me rikes fall ra ra laddie-o

There’s whiskey in the jar

Hey whiskey, you’re the Devil

You’re leading me astray

Over hills and mountains

And to Amerikay

You’re sweet and stronger

You’re spunkier than tea

Whiskey, you’re my darling

Drunk or sober

Now the boys are fighting boldly

The men are dying hot and coldly

Give every man his flask of powder

His firelock on his shoulder

And love, fare thee well

With a too de li ana, too da li ana, da

A too de li ana, too da li ana, da

Me rikes fall ra ra laddie-o

There’s whiskey in the jar

Whiskey you’re the Devil

You’re leading me astray

Over hills and mountains

And to Amerikay

You’re sweet and stronger

You’re spunkier than tea

Whiskey, you’re my darling

Drunk or sober

Oh, whiskey you’re the Devil

You’re leading me astray

Over hills and mountains

And to Amerikay

You’re sweet and stronger

You’re spunkier than tea

Whiskey, you’re my darling

Drunk or sober

Oh, whiskey you’re my darling

Drunk or sober
