Whisky in the Jar

Whisky In The Jar - Ensemble

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 then produced me

Rapier

Saying stand and deliver for you are my bould deciever

Musha ring dumma do dumma da

Whack fol de daddy o

Whack fol de 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 and i took it home to jenny

She sighed and she swore that she never would decieve

Me

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

Musha ring dumma do dumma da

Whack fol de daddy o

Whack fol de daddy o

There's whiskey in the jar

I went up to my chamber all for to take a slumber

I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure't was no wonder

But jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water

Then sent for captain farrell to be ready for the slaughter

Musha ring dumma do dumma da

Whack fol de daddy o

Whack fol de daddy o

There's whiskey in the jar

Twas early in the morning just before i rose to travel

Up comes a band of footmen 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

Musha ring dumma do dumma da

Whack fol de daddy o

Whack fol de daddy o

There's whiskey in the jar

Now 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 dumma do dumma da

Whack fol de daddy o

Whack fol de daddy o

There's whiskey in the jar

If can aid met brother is sent in the army

If i can find his station in cork or in killarney

And if he'll go with me we'll go rovin in kilkenny

And i'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a sporting jenny

Musha ring dumma do dumma da

Whack fol de daddy o

Whack fol de daddy o

There's whiskey in the jar

Musha ring dumma do dumma da
