Whiskey in the Jar

Whiskey In The Jar (瓶中的威士忌) - Firkin

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

I said stand and deliver for you are 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 home to 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

I went into my chamber 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 Farrel to be ready for the slaughter

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 just before I rose to travel

Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrel

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 'ol

Whack for the daddy 'ol

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 join me we'll go roving near Kilkenny

And I swear he'll treat me better than me own sportling 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
