Whiskey In The Jar
As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier
Saying, "Stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny
She sighed, and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder
But Jenny drew my charges, and she filled them up with water
Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
'Twas early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell
I first produced my pistol for she stole away my rapier
But I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Now there's some take delight in the carriages a-rollin'
And others take delight in the hurling and the bowlin'
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
If anyone can aid me, 't is my brother in the army
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' Kilkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Ah, mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier
Saying, "Stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny
She sighed, and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
