Whisky In The Jar

As I was going over the far famed Kerry Mountains I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting I first produced me pistol and then produced me ravior Said: "Stand and deliver" for he was a bold deceiver Chorus: Musha ring dumma do dumma daa Wack fol the daddy-ol Wack fol the daddy-ol There's whisky in the jar I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny I put it in me pocket and brought it home to Jenny She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me But the devil take the woman for they never can be easy Chorus I went up to me 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 And sent for Captain Farrell to ready for the slaughter Chorus 'Twas early in the morning just before I rose to travel Up comes a band of footman and likewise Captain Farrell I first produced me pistol for she stolen away me ravior I couldn't shoot for water so a prisoner a was taken Chorus If anyone can aid tis my brother in the army If I could find his station in Cork or in Killarney And if he'd come with me we'll go roamin' in Killkenny And I'm sure he treat me better than me own a'sportin Jenny Chorus
