Darlin' Sportin' Jenny

I have been a rover I have been a bold deceiver

Now I make my livin' with my pistol and my rapier

I don't know what I've stolen but 'twould make a pretty penny

And I've lost it all to my darlin' sportin' Jenny

Musha rig um du rum da

Whack fol the daddy-o

Whack fol the daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar

I robbed Colonel Farrell up on Gilgarry Mountain

I took gold to Jenny for the help me with the countin'

But Jenny called the guards Lord I've never saw so many

I almost lost my freedom with my darlin' sportin' Jenny

Musha rig um du rum da

Whack fol the daddy-o

Whack fol the daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar

I'd like to find me brother he's the one that's in the army

I don't know where he's stationed be it Cork or in Kilarney

Together we'd go rovin' over the mountains of Kilkenny

I'd swear he'd treat me fairer than my darlin' sportin' Jenny

Musha rig um du rum da

Whack fol the daddy-o

Whack fol the daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar

'Twas early in the morning at the barracks of Kilarney

My brother took his leave but he didn't tell the army

Our horses they were speedy 'twas all over but the shoutin'

Now we make our livin' up on Gilgarry Mountain

Musha rig um du rum da

Whack fol the daddy-o

Whack fol the daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar

Whack fol the daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar
