Whisky in the Jar

As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains

I met with Captain Sparrow and his money he was counting

I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier

Saying "Stand and deliver for I am a bold deceiver"

Musha ring dumma do damma da

Whack fol the daddy o

Whack fol the daddy o

There's whiskey in the jar

He counted out his money and it made a pretty penny

I put it in my pocket and I gave it to my 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 dumma do damma da

Whack fol the daddy o

Whack fol the daddy o

There's whiskey in the jar

I went into my chamber all for to take a slumber

I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder

But Jenny drew my charges, she filled them up with water

She sent for Captain Sparrow to be ready for the slaughter

Musha ring dumma do damma da

Whack fol the daddy o

Whack fol the daddy o

There's whiskey in the jar

'Twas early in the morning, before I rose to travel

Up comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Sparrow

I then produced my pistol for she stole away my rapier

But I couldn't shoot the water, for I had no super soaker

Musha ring dumma do damma da

Whack fol the daddy o

Whack fol the daddy o

There's whiskey in the jar

If anyone can aid me, it's my brother in the army

If I but knew his station be it Cork or in Killarney

And if he'd come and join me, we'd go roving in Kilkenny

I swear he'd treat me fairer than my darling sporting Jenny

Musha ring dumma do damma da

Whack fol the daddy o

Whack fol the daddy o

There's whiskey in the jar

Now some men take delight in the drinking and the roving

And others take delight in the gambling and the smoking

But I take delight in the juice of the barley

And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
