"Whiskey You're the Devil", in Gaelic Uisge beata is tu an diabal, is sometimes called
"Off to California",
"Fireman's Reel", "Possum Up a Gum Stump", "Lexington", "Old Towser",
"Whiskey in the Jar" ("Kilgary Mountain") or
"Buttermilk and Cider",
"Gypsy Hornpipe", "Going to California", "Portsmouth Hornpipe" or "Freeman's Reel" although the melody is very
different from the widely known melodies.
It was printed in O'Neill (Krassen)(1976), O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903) and O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems (1907). It has been recorded by The Clancy Brothers, The Pogues and others. |
