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 my pistol and then produced my rapier

Saying "Stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver

Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da,

Whack for the daddy, oh

Whack for the daddy, oh

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 deceit me

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

Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da,

Whack for the daddy, oh

Whack for the daddy, oh

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 blew me charges and she filled them up with water

Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter

Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da,

Whack for the daddy, oh

Whack for the daddy, oh

There's whiskey in the jar

't was 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 rain dum a doo, dum a da,

Whack for the daddy, oh

Whack for the daddy, oh

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 rain dum a doo, dum a da,

Whack for the daddy, oh

Whack for the daddy, oh

There's whiskey in the jar

[02:55.40]Whiskey!

[02:57.55]Whiskey!

[02:59.61]Whiskey!

[03:01.77]Whiskey in the jar!

[03:12.70]Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da,

[03:14.66]Whack for the daddy, oh

[03:17.40]Whack for the daddy, oh

[03:19.13]There's whiskey in the jar
