Whisky You're the Devil Songtext
von Bella Hardy

Oh, now brave boys ye marching off to foreign wars
Drums are beating, banners flying
The devil tonight, my home you′ll see
Love, fare you well

Oh, whiskey, you're the devil, you′re leading me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Amerikay
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter than any man my way
Whiskey, you're my darling, drunk or sober

If you′ve no taste for whiskey, let wormwood steal your soul
If you′re looking for false-hearted girls
The devil tonight, my home you'll see
Love, fare you well

Oh, whiskey, you′re the devil, you're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Amerikay
You′re sweeter, stronger, decenter than any man my way
Whiskey, you're my darling, drunk or sober


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 you well

Oh, whiskey, you′re the devil, you′re leading me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Amerikay
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter than any man my way
Whiskey, you′re my darling, drunk or sober

Whiskey, you're the devil, you′re leading me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Amerikay
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter than any man my way
Whiskey, you′re my darling, drunk or sober

They say new friends are silver, and old friends they are gold
But when your friends are drunk, you dry
The devil tonight, my home you'll see
Love, fare you well

Oh, whiskey, you're the devil, you′re leading me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Amerikay
You′re sweeter, stronger, decenter than any man my way
Whiskey, you're my darling, drunk or sober


Oh, whiskey, you′re the devil, you're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Amerikay
You′re sweeter, stronger, decenter than any man my way
Whiskey, you're my darling, drunk or sober

Oh, whiskey, you′re the devil, you're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Amerikay
You're sweeter, stronger, decenter than any man my way
Whiskey, you′re my darling, drunk or sober
