Whiskey in the jar

C

1. As I was going over

Am

The far famed Kerry mountains

F

I met with Captain Farrell

C

And his money he was counting,

C

I first produced my pistol,

Am

And then produced my rapier

F

Sayin´, stand and deliver

C

For you are my bold deceiver,

G G > > C

Chorus: Musha Ringuma duram da

F

Whack fol the daddy-o, Whack fol the daddy-o,

C G C

There´s whiskey in the jar

2. He counted out his money

And it made a pretty penny

I put in in my pocket

And I gave it to my Jenny

She sighed and she swore

That she never would betray me

But the devil take the women

For they never can be easy.

Chorus:

3. I went unto 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

And she filled them up with water

And sent for Captain Farrell,

To be ready for the slaughter.

Chorus:

4. And ´twas early in the morning

Before I rose to travel,

Up comes a band of footmen

And likewise Captain Farrell;

I then produced my pistol,

For she stole away my rapier

But I couldn´t shoot the water

So a prisoner I was taken

Chorus:

5. And if any one can aid me

´This my broher in the army

If I couldn´t learn his station,

In Cork or in Killarney.

And if he´d come and join me

We´d go-roving in Kilkenny

I´ll engage he´d treat me fairer

Than my darling sporting Jenny.

Chorus:
