Lyrics

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 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 me pocket for to give it to my 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 me chamber, for to take a slumber I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't was no wonder But Jenny stole me charges and she filled them up with water She sent for captain Farrell to be ready for my 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, before I rose to travel I have the guards all around me and likewise captain Farrell I first produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier 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 Well if anyone can aid me chase me brother in the army I think that his station is Cork or in Killarney If he'd come and join me we'll go rovin' in Killkenny And engage and cheat me Farrell and me darlin' a'sportin' 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 I'm so excited tonight in the hurling or in bowling and others take delight in the carriages and rollin' but I take delight in the juices of the barley and courtin' pretty girls in the mornin' 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 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 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 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 Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
