Oh now brave boys, you're marching off to foreign wars |
|
Drums a' beating, banners flying |
|
The Devil, tonight my home you'll see |
|
Love fare thee well |
|
Oh, whisky you're the devil, you're leading me astray |
|
Over hills and mountains and to Americay |
|
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter than any man my way |
|
Whisky you're my darling drunk or sober |
|
If you've no taste for whisky, let wormwood steal your soul |
|
If you're looking for false hearted girls |
|
The Devil, tonight my home you'll see |
|
Love fare thee well |
|
The sea's too full of witchcraft, you'll sooner sink than swim |
|
But if you reach the furthest shore |
|
The Devil, tonight my home you'll see |
|
Love fare thee well |
|
They say new friends are silver, and old friends they are gold |
|
But when your friends have drunk you dry |
|
The Devil, tonight my home you'll see |
|
Love fare thee well |
