Lyrics
Now, brave boys, we're on the march
Off to Portugal and Spain
Drums are beating, banners waving
The devil a-home we'll come tonight
Love, fair thee well
With me toora-loo-dum-da
Me toora-loo-dum-da
Me ra-fol-toora-laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar (Hey)
Whiskey, you're the devil
You're leadin' me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Americae
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter
You're spunkier than tae
And whiskey, you're me darling, drunk or sober
The French are fightin' boldly
Men are dyin' hot and coldly
That every man they tootle for
His firelock on his shoulder
Love, fair thee well
With me toora-loo-dum-da
Me toora-loo-dum-da
Me ra-fol-toora-laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Hey, whiskey, you're the devil
You're leadin' me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Americae
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter
You're spunkier than tae
Oh whiskey, you're me darling, drunk or sober
Hey, whiskey, you're the devil
You're leadin' me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Americae
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter
You're spunkier than tae
Oh whiskey, you're me darling, drunk or sober
Says the mother, "Do not 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, fair thee well
With me toora-loo-dum-da
Me toora-loo-dum-da
Me ra-fol-toora-laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Hey, whiskey, you're the devil
You're leadin' me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Americae
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter
You're spunkier than tae
Oh whiskey, you're me darling, drunk or sober
Off to Portugal and Spain
Drums are beating, banners waving
The devil a-home we'll come tonight
Love, fair thee well
With me toora-loo-dum-da
Me toora-loo-dum-da
Me ra-fol-toora-laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar (Hey)
Whiskey, you're the devil
You're leadin' me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Americae
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter
You're spunkier than tae
And whiskey, you're me darling, drunk or sober
The French are fightin' boldly
Men are dyin' hot and coldly
That every man they tootle for
His firelock on his shoulder
Love, fair thee well
With me toora-loo-dum-da
Me toora-loo-dum-da
Me ra-fol-toora-laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Hey, whiskey, you're the devil
You're leadin' me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Americae

Oh whiskey, you're me darling, drunk or sober
Hey, whiskey, you're the devil
