Whiskey In The Jar Lyrics

[00:20.48] As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains
[00:25.18] I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
[00:29.40] I first produced me pistol and I've then produced me rapier
[00:33.50] saying stand and deliver for you are a bold deciever
[00:37.56] Musha ring dooram doo dooram da,
[00:40.63] whack fol my daddy o
[00:42.86] whack fol my daddy o
[00:44.42] there's whiskey in the jar
[00:46.65] I counted out my money it made a pretty penny
[00:50.85] I put it in my pocket and took it home to Jenny
[00:55.08] she sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
[00:59.37] but the devil take the woman for they never can be easy
[01:03.26] Musha ring dooram doo dooram da,
[01:06.17] whack fol my daddy o
[01:08.26] whack fol my daddy o
[01:09.92] there's whiskey in the jar
[01:12.01] I went into my chamber for all to take a slumber
[01:16.45] I dreamt of golden jewels for sure it was no wonder
[01:20.34] but Jenny drew me charges and filled them up with water
[01:24.58] then sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter
[01:28.45] Musha ring dooram doo dooram da,
[01:31.39] whack fol my daddy o
[01:33.52] whack fol my daddy o
[01:35.18] there's whiskey in the jar
[01:36.93] It was early in the morning just before I rose to travel
[01:41.38] up comes a band with footmen adn likewise captain Farrell
[01:45.45] I first produced me pistol for she'd stolen away my rapier
[01:49.53] but I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken
[01:53.47] Musha ring dooram doo dooram da,
[01:54.27] whack fol my daddy o
[01:54.65] whack fol my daddy o
[01:55.26] there's whiskey in the jar
[01:55.76] There's some take delight in the carriages a rolling
[01:56.85] and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling
[01:58.06] but I take delight in the juice of the barley
[01:58.92] and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
[02:00.39] Musha ring dooram doo dooram da,
[02:00.73] whack fol my daddy o
[02:01.25] whack fol my daddy o
[02:01.64] there's whiskey in the jar
[02:02.18] If anyone can aid me it's me brother in army
[02:06.13] if I can can find his station in Cork or in Killaney
[02:10.23] and if he'll go with me we'll go roaming in Kilkenny
[02:14.04] and I'll sure he'll treat me better than my own disporting Jenny
[02:17.80] Musha ring dooram doo dooram da,
[02:20.79] whack fol my daddy o
[02:24.35]
[02:28.98] whack fol my daddy o
[02:32.52] there's whiskey in the jar
[02:34.23]
