Whisky in the Jar

Whisky in the Jar - Waldorf String Band

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

And then produced my rapier

Saying stand and deliver for I am a bold deceiver

Musha ring dumma do damma da

Whack for the daddy 'ol

Whack for the daddy 'ol

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 take it to my tally Jenny

She said and she swore that she never would deceive me

But the devil take the women for they never can be easy

Musha ring dumma do damma da

Whack for the daddy 'ol

Whack for the daddy 'ol

There's whiskey in the jar

Musha ring dumma do damma da

Whack for the daddy 'ol

Whack for the daddy 'ol

There's whiskey in the jar

It was early in the morning between the hour 6 and 7

The guards were standing around me in numbers odd and even

I flew to my pistols but alas I was mistaken

For Molly's drawn my pistols and a prisoner I was taken

Musha ring dumma do damma da

Whack for the daddy 'ol

Whack for the daddy 'ol

There's whiskey in the jar

If anyone can help me it's my brother in the army

If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney

Together we'll go walking in the mountains of Killkenney

And I hope he'll treat me better than me darling sporting Jenny

Musha ring dumma do damma da

Whack for the daddy 'ol

Whack for the daddy 'ol

There's whiskey in the jar

Musha ring dumma do damma da

Whack for the daddy 'ol

Whack for the daddy 'ol

There's whiskey in the jar
