Notes: The word "whiskey" actually comes from the<br>
Gaelic uisge beatha, which means "water of life". (taken<br>
from The Irish Songbook)<br>
Whiskey you're the divil, you're leading me astray<br>
Over hills and mountains and to Amerikay<br>
You're sweeter, stronger, dacenter<br>
You're spunkier than tay<br>
Oh whiskey you're me darlin' drunk or sober.<br>
Oh, now brave boys are off for<br>
marching off to Portugal and Spain<br>
Drums are beating, banners flying<br>
The divil a home we'll come tonight<br>
Oh, love fare thee well<br>
With me tiddery idle loodle lum a da<br>
Me tiddery idle loodle lum a da<br>
Me right fol torral addee o<br>
There's whiskey in the jar.<br>
Said the mother do not wrong me<br>
Don't take me daughter from me<br>
For if you do I will torment you<br>
And after death me ghost will haunt you<br>
Love fare thee well<br>
With me tiddery idle loodle lum a da<br>
Me tiddery idle loodle lum a da<br>
Me right fol torral addee o<br>
There's whiskey in the jar.<br>
Now the French are fightin' bouldly<br>
Men are dying hot and couldly<br>
Give every man his flask of powder<br>
His firelock on his shoulder,<br>
Love fare thee well<br>
With me tiddelly idle loodle lum a da<br>
Me tiddery idle loodle lum a da<br>
Me right fol torral addee o<br>
There's whiskey in the jar.<br>
