• Whiskey In The Jar

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 then I drew me rapier.
I said stand and deliver, for you are a grand 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 me pocket and I brought it home to Jenny.
She said and she swore, she bever would betray me,
but the devil take that woman, for you know she can't 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 me chamber, all for to take a slumber,
I dreamt of gold and jewels and sure it was no wonder.
But Jenny drew me charges, filled them up with water,
Sent for captain Farrel to be ready at 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, before I rose to travel,
Up came a band of footmen and with them captain Farrel.
I reached out for me pistols, Jenny drew me rapier,
I couldn't fire 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

Well, if anyone can aid me, it's me brother in the army,
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney.
And if he'll come and join me, we'll go roving in Kilkenny,
He'll surely treat me fairer than me darling sportling Jenny.

musha ring dumma do damma da
whack for the daddy 'ol
whack for the daddy 'ol
there's whiskey in the jar

Now some take delight in the fishing and the bowling,
Some take delight in the Ferris wheels a-rollin'.
I take delight in the juice of the barley,
And courting married women bright and early in the morning.

musha ring dumma do damma da
whack for the daddy 'ol
whack for the daddy 'ol
there's whiskey in the jar
