Whiskey in the Jar

As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was countin' I first produced my pistol I then produced my rapier Said "stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da Whack fall the daddy-o Whack fall the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar I counted out his money it was a pretty penny I put it in me pocket and took it home to Jenny She sighed and she swore she never would deceive me But the devil take those women for they never can be easy Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da Whack fall the daddy-o Whack fall the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar I went into my chamber, all for to take a slumber I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't was no wonder Then Jenny drew me charges and filled them up with water And sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da Whack fall the daddy-o Whack fall the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar It was early in the morning, before I rose to travel Up came a band of footmen and with them captain Farrell I first produced my pistol for she'd taken away my rapier I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da Whack fall the daddy-o Whack fall 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, be in Cork or in Killarney If he'll come and join me, we'll go rovin' in Kilkenny I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da Whack fall the daddy-o Whack fall the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar There's some take delight in fishing or bowling Others take delight in the carriage wheels a-rolling But I take delight in the juice of the barley At courtin' pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da Whack fall the daddy-o Whack fall the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da Whack fall the daddy-o Whack fall the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar
