whiskey in the jar



as i was a going over the fair fit gilgarra 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 a bold deceiver



mu sha ring du dum du dam da

whack fol the daddy o

whack fol the daddy o

theres whisky 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 deceive me

but the devil take the woman for they never can be easy



mu sha ring du dum du dam da

whack fol the daddy o

whack fol the daddy o

theres whisky in the jar



i went into my chamber all for to take a slumber

i dreamt of gold and jewels and of course it 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



mu sha ring du dum du dam da

whack fol the daddy o

whack fol the daddy o

theres whisky in the jar



it was early in morning before i rose to travel

up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain farrell

i first produced me pistol for shed stolen away my rapier

but i couldnt shoot the water so a prisoner i was taken



mu sha ring du dum du dam da

whack fol the daddy o

whack fol the daddy o

theres whisky in the jar



now theres some take delight in the carriages and rolling

and others take delight in the hurley and the bolling

but i take delight in the juice of the barley

courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early



mu sha ring du dum du dam da

whack fol the daddy o

whack fol the daddy o

theres whisky in the jar



if anyone can aid me to see me brother in the army

if i can find a station in cork or in killerney

and if hell go with me well go roaming in kilkenny

and im sure hell treat me better than me old me sporting jenny



mu sha ring du dum du dam da

whack fol the daddy o

whack fol the daddy o

theres whiskey in the jar
