W:Chorus:
W:Whiskey, you're the devil, you're leadin' me astray
W:Over hills and mountains and to Americay
W:You're sweeter, stronger, decenter, you're spunkier than tae
W:O whiskey, you're my darlin' drunk or sober
W:
W:Oh, now, brave boys, we're on the march and off to Portugal and Spain
W:The drums are beating, banners flying, the devil at home will come tonight
W:Love, fare thee well, with me tithery idle doodelum a da
W:Me tithery idle doodelum de da, me right fol toora laddie oh
W:There's whiskey in the jar!
W:
W:Chorus

W:Said the mother: "Do not wrong me, don't take my daughter from me
W:For if you do I will torment you, and after death my ghost will haunt you"
W:Love, fare thee well, with me tithery idle doodelum a da
W:Me tithery idle doodelum de da, me right fol toora laddie oh
W:There's whiskey in the jar!
W:
W:Chorus
W:
W:The French are fighting boldly, men dying hot and coldly
W:Give every man his flask of powder, his firelock on his shoulder
W:Love, fare thee well, with me tithery idle doodelum a da
W:Me tithery idle doodelum de da, me right fol toora laddie oh
W:There's whiskey in the jar!
W:
