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 me pistol and I then produced me rapier Saying stand and deliver for I am the bold deceiver Musha-ring dumma-do-damma-da Whack for the daddy-o Whack for the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar I counted out his money, it made a pretty penny I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny She sighed and she swore, she never would deceive me But the devil take my women for they never can be easy Musha-ring dumma-do-damma-da Whack for the daddy-o Whack for the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar I went unto my chamber, all for to take a slumber I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder But Jenny took my charges and she filled them up with water And sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter Musha-ring dumma-do-damma-da Whack for the daddy-o Whack for the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar It was early in the morning 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 Musha ring dumma do damma da Whack for the daddy-o Whack for the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar If anyone can aid me, it's my brother in the army If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney And if he'll come save me, we'll go roving near Kilkenny And I'm sure he'll treat me better than me own sporting Jenny Musha-ring dumma-do-damma-da Whack for the daddy-o Whack for the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar There's some takes delight in the carriages a-rolling And others take delight in the hurley and the bowlin' But I takes delight in the juice of the barley And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early Musha-ring dumma-do-damma-da Whack for the daddy-o Whack for the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar Musha-ring dumma-do-damma-da Whack for the daddy-o Whack for the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar
