Whiskey in the Jar |
As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains |
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin' |
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier |
I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya |
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny |
I took all of his money yeah and I brought it home to Molly |
She swore that she'd love me, no never would she leave me |
But the devil take that woman yeah for you know she tricked me easy |
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da |
Whack for my daddy-o |
Whack for my daddy-o |
There's whiskey in the jar-o |
Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber |
Takin' my money with me, but I never knew the danger |
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell |
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels |
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da |
Whack for my daddy-o |
Whack for my daddy-o |
There's whiskey in the jar-o |
[Yeah Whiskey!] |
Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin' |
And some men like ta hear, ta hear the cannon ball a roarin' |
Me I like sleepin', specially in my Molly's chamber |
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah |
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da |
Whack for my daddy-o |
Whack for my daddy-o |
There's whiskey in the jar-o |
Whiskey in the jar-o |
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da |
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da |
Hey, musha ring dum a doo dum a da |
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da |
