Whiskey in the Jar

Lyrics

As I was a goin' over
 The far famed Kerry mountains
 I met with captain Farrell
 And his money he was counting
 I first produced my pistol
 And I then produced my rapier
 Saying "Stand and deliver"
 For he were a bold deceiver
 Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
 Whack for my daddy-o.
 Whack for my daddy-o
 There's whiskey in the jar
 I counted out his money
 And it made a pretty penny
 I put it in me pocket
 And I took 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
 Mush-a 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 up to my chamber
 All for to take a slumber
 I dreamt of gold and jewels
 And for sure it was no wonder
 But Jenny drew me charges
 And she filled them up with water
 Then sent for captain Farrell
 To be ready for the slaughter
 Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
 Whack for my daddy-o.
 Whack for my daddy-o
 There's whiskey in the jar
 'Twas was early in the morning
 Just before I rose to travel
 Up comes a band of footmen
 And likewise captain Farrell
 I first produced me pistol
 For she stole away me rapier
 I couldn't shoot the water
 So a prisoner I was taken
 Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
 Whack for my daddy-o.
 Whack for my daddy-o
 There's whiskey in the jar
 Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
 Whack for my daddy-o.
 Whack for my daddy-o
 There's whiskey in the jar
