[C] [G] [C]
Hey!
Whiskey or the devil, [Fm] you're [C] leading me astray
[Fm] Over hills [C] and mountains [G] and to America
[C] Yes, we're stronger, dazin' [F] early, our spunky aren't nerty
[C] Oh, whiskey or me, darling, [G] drunk or
[C] sober
Oh, no, brave boys, we're on for marching
[G] Up to [F] Portugal and [C] Spain
Drums are beatin', banners flyin'
[G] The devil, our home, we'll come [C] tonight
Love fairly well
Whippet to the reed, a-lootin' on my jaw
[G] Me to the reed, a [F]-lootin' on my jaw

[C] For if you do, I will torment [Am] you enough
The deadly [C] ghost will haunt you, love, fairly well

He's firelock on his [C] shoulder, love, fairly well
Me to the reed, a-lootin' on my jaw
