Whiskey You're the Devil

Whiskey You're the Devil - The Pogues

Now brave boys we're on the march

Off to Portugal and Spain

Drums are beating banners flying

The Devil at home will come tonight

So it's go fare thee well

With a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da

A too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da

Me rikes fall too ra laddie-o there's whiskey in the jar

Oh whiskey you're the devil you're leading me astray

Over hills and mountains and to Amerikay

You're sweetness from the Bleachner and spunkier than tea

Oh whiskey you're my darling drunk or sober

The French are fighting boldly

Men are dying hot and coldly

Give every man his flask of powder

His firelock on his shoulder

So its go fare thee well

With a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da

A too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da

Me rikes fall too ra laddie-o there's whiskey in the jar

Oh whiskey you're the devil you're leading me astray

Over hills and mountains and to Amerikay

You're sweetness from the Bleachner and spunkier than tea

Oh 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 sweetness from the Bleachner and spunkier than tea

Oh whiskey you're my darling drunk or sober

Says the old man do not wrong me

Don't take me daughter from me

For if you do I will torment you

When I'm dead my ghost will haunt you

So its go fare thee well

With a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da

A too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da

Me rikes fall too ra laddie-o there's whiskey in the jar

Oh whiskey you're the devil you're leading me astray

Over hills and mountains and to Amerikay

You're sweetness from the Bleachner and spunkier than tea

Oh whiskey you're my darling drunk or sober
