Whiskey in the Jar |
As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains. |
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting. |
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier. |
I said: «Stand and deliver for you are the bold deciever». |
Musha ring dum-a do dum-a da, Whack for my daddy-o, |
Whack for my daddy-o, There’s whiskey in the jar. |
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny. |
I put it in my pocket and i brought it home to Jenny. |
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me. |
But the Devil take the women for they never can be easy. |
Musha ring dum-a do dum-a da, Whack for my daddy-o, |
Whack for my daddy-o, There’s whiskey in the jar. |
I went into my chamber all for to take a slumber. |
I dreamt of golden jewels and for sure it was a wonder. |
For Jenny drew my charges and she filled them up with water. |
Then sent for Captian Farrell to be ready for the slaughter. |
Musha ring dum-a do dum-a da, Whack for my daddy-o, |
Whack for my daddy-o, There’s whiskey in the jar. |
Twas early in the mornin' just before i rose to travel. |
Up came a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrell. |
So I first produced my pistol, for she stole away my rapier. |
But i couldn’t shoot the water so a prisoner i was taken. |
Musha ring dum-a do dum-a da, Whack for my daddy-o, |
Whack for my daddy-o, There’s whiskey in the jar. |
Musha ring dum-a do dum-a da, Whack for my daddy-o, |
Whack for my daddy-o, There’s whiskey in the jar. |
If anyone can aid me it’s my brother in the Army, |
And if i could find his station in Cork or in Killarney, |
And if he’d go with me we’d go rovin' through Killkenny, |
And im sure he’d treat me better than my darlin' sportin' Jenny. |
Musha ring dum-a do dum-a da, Whack for my daddy-o, |
Whack for my daddy-o, There’s whiskey in the jar. |
Musha ring dum-a do dum-a da, Whack for my daddy-o, |
Whack for my daddy-o, There’s whiskey in the jar. |
