\begin{SBChorus}
Oh, \Ch{G}{whiskey} you're the devil, You're \Ch{C}{leading} me \Ch{G}{astray}
O'er hills and mountains and to \Ch{D}{Americae}
You're \Ch{G}{sweeter}, stronger, decenter, You're \Ch{C}{spunkier} than \Ch{G}{tea}
Oh, \Ch{G}{whiskey} you're me darling drunk or \Ch{D}{so}\Ch{G}{ber}
\end{SBChorus}

\begin{SBVerse*}
Now \Ch{G}{brave} boys, we're on the march
\Ch{D}{Off} to Portu\Ch{C}{gal} and Spain
\Ch{G}{Drums} a'beating, banners a'waving
\Ch{C}{Devil} a'home will \Ch{D}{come} tonight
Lo' fare thee well With me thitery doodelum the \Ch{D}{da}
Me \Ch{Am}{thitery} doodelum the \Ch{C}{da}
Me \Ch{G}{right} fol' tur-a laddie-o
There's \Ch{D}{whiskey} in the \Ch{G}{jar}
\end{SBVerse*}

The French are fighting boldly
Men are dying hot and coldly
Give every man his flask of powder
His firelock on his shoulder
Lo' fare thee well With me thitery doodelum the da
Me thitery doodelum the da
Me right fol' tur-a laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar
\bigskip
Says the mother : \og 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 \fg
We're off, fare thee well With me thitery doodelum the da
Me thitery doodelum the da
Me right fol' tur-a laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar
