Whiskey in the jar
Traditional
D Bm
As I was goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains,
G D Bm
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was count'n.
D Bm
I first produced me pistol, and then I drew me rapier,
G D Bm
Sayin' stand and deliver for I am a bold deceiver.
chorus:
A7
Musha rig um du rum da
D D7
Whack fol de daddy o
G
Whack fol de daddy o
D A7 D
There's whiskey in the jar
D Bm
He counted out his money and it made a pretty penny,
G D Bm
I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny.
D Bm
She smiled and she swore that she never would betray me,
G D Bm
But the divil take the women for they ne'er can be easy.
Chorus:
D Bm
I went into me chamber all for to take a slumber
G D Bm
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder,
D Bm
But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water,
G D Bm
And sent for Captain Farrel, to be ready for the slaughter.
Chorus:
D Bm
'Twas early in the morning before I rose to travel,
G D Bm
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrell;
D Bm
I first produced me pistol, for Jenny'd stole me rapier
G D Bm
But I could na' shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken.
Chorus:
D Bm
They throwed me into prison without no judge nor writin'
G D Bm
For robbin' Captain Farrell up on Kilgary Mountain
D Bm
But they did not take me fists so I knocked the jailer down
G D Bm
And I bid meself adieu to the jail in Sligo Town
Chorus:
D Bm
And if anyone can aid me, 'tis me brother in the army,
G D Bm
If I could learn his station in Cork or in Killarney.
D Bm
And if he'd come and join me we'd go roving through Kilkenny,
G D Bm
I'll engage he'd treat me fairer than me darlin' sportin' Jenny.
Chorus:
D Bm
Now some takes delight in the boxin' and the bowlin',
G D Bm
and some gets their delight in the hurlin' and the rollin'.
D Bm
Well I gets my delight in the juice of the barley,
G D Bm
And courtin' pretty ladies in the mornin' ah so early.
Chorus:
