Lyrics

As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting I first produced me pistol and I've then produced me rapier saying stand and deliver for you are a bold deciever Musha ring dooram doo dooram da, whack fol my daddy o whack fol my daddy o there's whiskey in the jar I counted out my money it made a pretty penny I put it in my pocket and took it home to Jenny she sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me but the devil take the woman for they never can be easy Musha ring dooram doo dooram da, whack fol my daddy o whack fol my daddy o there's whiskey in the jar I went into my chamber for all to take a slumber I dreamt of golden jewels for sure it was no wonder but Jenny drew me charges and filled them up with water then sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter Musha ring dooram doo dooram da, whack fol my daddy o whack fol my daddy o there's whiskey in the jar It was early in the morning just before I rose to travel up comes a band with footmen adn likewise captain Farrell I first produced me pistol for she'd stolen away my rapier but I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken Musha ring dooram doo dooram da, whack fol my daddy o whack fol my daddy o there's whiskey in the jar There's some take delight in the carriages a rolling and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling but I take delight in the juice of the barley and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early Musha ring dooram doo dooram da, whack fol my daddy o whack fol my daddy o there's whiskey in the jar If anyone can aid me it's me brother in army if I can can find his station in Cork or in Killaney and if he'll go with me we'll go roaming in Kilkenny and I'll sure he'll treat me better than my own disporting Jenny Musha ring dooram doo dooram da, whack fol my daddy o whack fol my daddy o there's whiskey in the jar
