Whisky in the Jar

Lyrics

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
 Musha ring dumma do damma da
 Whack fol the daddy o
 Whack fol the daddy o
 There's whiskey in the jar
 Musha ring dumma do damma da
 Whack fol the daddy o
 Whack fol the daddy o
 There's whiskey in the jar
 Musha ring dumma do damma da
 Whack fol the daddy o
 Whack fol the daddy o
 There's whiskey in the jar
