(Tin flute intro)
[Verse 1]
D Now brave boys we're on the march A G Off to Portugal and Spain D Drums A-beating, banners A-waving G A The devil a-home will come tonight D A La, fare thee well With me tither-y-eye dum dah Em G Me tither-y-eye dum da D Me right fol tur-a ladee A D Oh, there's whiskey in the jar
[Chorus]
D G D Hey, whiskey you?re the devil You?re leading me astray D A O'er hills and mountains into Amerikay D G D Your sweetness from the bleachner You're spunkier than tea, D A D Ah, whiskey you're me darlin?, drunk or so-ber
[Verse 2]
The French are fighting boldly
Men are dying hot and coldly
Give every man his flash, gunpowder
His firelock on his shoulder
La, fare thee well With me tither-y-eye dum dah
Me tither-y-eye dum da
Me right fol tur-a ladee
Oh, there's whiskey in the jar
[Chorus]
D G D Hey, whiskey you?re the devil You?re leading me astray D A O'er hills and mountains into Amerikay D G D Your sweetness from the bleachner You're spunkier than tea, D A D Ah, whiskey you're me darlin?, drunk or so-ber
[Break] (same as verse)
[Chorus]
D G D Hey, whiskey you?re the devil You?re leading me astray D A O'er hills and mountains into Amerikay D G D Your sweetness from the bleachner You're spunkier than tea, D A D Ah, whiskey you're me darlin?, drunk or so-ber
[Verse 3]
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"
We're off, fare thee well With me tither-y-eye dum dah
Me tither-y-eye dum da
Me right fol tur-a ladee
Oh, there's whiskey in the jar
[Chorus]
D G D Hey, whiskey you?re the devil You?re leading me astray D A O'er hills and mountains into Amerikay D G D Your sweetness from the bleachner You're spunkier than tea, D A D Ah, whiskey you're me darlin?, drunk or so-ber
[Outro] [D D A D]
