Whiskey in the Jar (Arr. N. McLoughlin)
as I was going over the car can carry mountains
I met with captain Farrow and his money he was countem
i first produse my pistol and them produse my rapior
say stand and deliver for you are a bold reciver
masha rim damma-do damma-da
what for my daddy-o
what for my daddy-o
Ther's whiskey in the jar
i conted up his money
and it made a pretty peny
I put it in my pocket and a brothed home to jenny
he sinded and she sore
that she never would decive me
But the devil take the women for they never hand me easy
masha rim damma-do damma-da
what for the daddy-o
what for the daddy-o
there's whiskey in the jar
Wen i went into my chamber
Went far to take a slumber
i dremed with golden jweles
and for shure it was a wonder
For jenny drue me charges and she fell among the wather
And send to captain farrow to be ready for the slaugther
masha rim damma-do damma-da
what for the daddy-o
wath for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
was early the next mourning just before i rush to travel
I was band the foot and the ligth was captain farrow
i just produce my pistol
for she stole away me rapior
but i couldnt shoot the waggon so a prisoner i was takem
I met with captain Farrow and his money he was countem
i first produse my pistol and them produse my rapior
say stand and deliver for you are a bold reciver
masha rim damma-do damma-da
what for my daddy-o
what for my daddy-o
Ther's whiskey in the jar
i conted up his money
and it made a pretty peny
I put it in my pocket and a brothed home to jenny
he sinded and she sore
that she never would decive me
But the devil take the women for they never hand me easy
masha rim damma-do damma-da
what for the daddy-o
what for the daddy-o
there's whiskey in the jar
Wen i went into my chamber
Went far to take a slumber
i dremed with golden jweles
and for shure it was a wonder
For jenny drue me charges and she fell among the wather
And send to captain farrow to be ready for the slaugther
masha rim damma-do damma-da
what for the daddy-o
wath for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
was early the next mourning just before i rush to travel
I was band the foot and the ligth was captain farrow

for she stole away me rapior
but i couldnt shoot the waggon so a prisoner i was takem
