You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay

You're sweet and stronger [Incomprehensible]
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 [Incomprehensible]
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 [Incomprehensible]
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 [Incomprehensible]
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 [Incomprehensible]
You're spunkier than tea
Whiskey, you're my darling
Drunk or sober

Oh, whiskey you're my darling
Drunk or sober

You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
