1.Whiskey You're The Devil
Lyricist:James Fearnley, Jem Finer, Shane Macgowan, Cait Oriordan,

Whiskey, you're the Devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're spunkier than tea
Oh whiskey, you're my darling
Drunk or sober
Now the boys are on for march
And off to Portugal and Spain
Drums are beating, banners flying
The Devil at home will fight tonight
And love, fare thee well
With a too de li ana, too da li ana, da
A too de li ana, too da li ana, da
Me rikes fall ra ra laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Whiskey, you're the Devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're spunkier than tea
Oh whiskey, you're my darling
Drunk or sober
Said the mother 'Do not wrong me
Do not take me daughter from me
For if you do I will torment you
And after my death my ghost will haunt you'
And love, fare thee well
With a too de li ana, too da li ana, da
A too de li ana, too da li ana, da
Me rikes fall ra ra laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Hey whiskey, you're the Devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're spunkier than tea
Whiskey, you're my darling
Drunk or sober
Now the boys are fighting boldly
The men are dying hot and coldly
Give every man his flask of powder
His firelock on his shoulder
And love, fare thee well
With a too de li ana, too da li ana, da
A too de li ana, too da li ana, da
Me rikes fall ra ra laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Whiskey you're the Devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're spunkier than tea
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 spunkier than tea
Whiskey, you're my darling
Drunk or sober
Oh, whiskey you're my darling
Drunk or sober
2.Leatherwing Bat
Lyricist:Noel Paul Stookey, Peter Yarrow
â½Hiâ said the little leatherwing bat
â½I'll tell you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
Because I lost my heart's delightâ
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Hey dee lee dee lie dee lo
â½Hiâ said the owl in the dead of night
â½A lonesome day and a lonesome night
Thought I heard a pretty girl say
I'd dance all night but I sleep the next dayâ
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Hey dee lee dee lie dee lo
â½Hiâ said the woodpecker sittin' on a bench
'Once I courted a handsome wench
She got scared and from me fled
Ever since then I've dressed in red'
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Hey dee lee dee lie dee lo
â½Hiâ said the black bird sittin' on a chair
â½Once I courted a lady fair
She got fickle and turned her back
And ever since then I've dressed in blackâ
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Hey dee lee dee lie dee lo
â½Hiâ said the little turtledove
â½I'll tell you how to win your love
Court her night and court her day
Never give her a chance to say you nayâ
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Hey dee lee dee lie dee lo
â½Hiâ said the blue bird as he flew
â½If I had a young wife I'd have two
If one got tired and wanted to go
I'd have a new string for my bowâ
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Hey dee lee dee lie dee lo
â½Hi'â said the jay bird sittin' in the tree
â½When I was a young man I had three
Two got saucy and then took flight
The one that's left don't treat me rightâ
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Hey dee lee dee lie dee lo
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Hey dee lee dee lie dee lo
