Whiskey in the Jar (Live)

As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains

I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting

I first produced me pistol and I've then produced me rapier

saying stand and deliver for you are a bold deciever

Musha ring dooram doo dooram da,

whack fol my daddy o

whack fol my daddy o

there's whiskey in the jar

I counted out my money it made a pretty penny

I put it in my pocket and 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

Musha ring dooram doo dooram da,

whack fol my daddy o

whack fol my daddy o

there's whiskey in the jar

I went into my chamber for all to take a slumber

I dreamt of golden jewels for sure it was no wonder

but Jenny drew me charges and filled them up with water

then sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter

Musha ring dooram doo dooram da,

whack fol my daddy o

whack fol my daddy o

there's whiskey in the jar

It was early in the morning just before I rose to travel

up comes a band with footmen adn likewise captain Farrell

I first produced me pistol for she'd stolen away my rapier

but I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken

Musha ring dooram doo dooram da,

whack fol my daddy o

whack fol my daddy o

there's whiskey in the jar

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 ring dooram doo dooram da,

whack fol my daddy o

whack fol my daddy o

there's whiskey in the jar

If anyone can aid me it's me brother in army

if I can can find his station in Cork or in Killaney

and if he'll go with me we'll go roaming in Kilkenny

and I'll sure he'll treat me better than my own disporting Jenny
