Whiskey In The Jar - John Peel Session Lyrics

[00:35.71] As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
[00:45.93] I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'
[00:54.12] I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
[01:01.13] I said, "Stand and deliver, or the devil he may take you!"
[01:08.81] Musha ring dum a doo dam a da
[01:14.04] Whack for my daddy-o
[01:17.98] Whack for my daddy-o
[01:21.10] There's whiskey in the jar-o
[01:26.28]
[01:40.88] I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
[01:48.78] I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly
[01:57.05] She swore that she'd love me, never would she leave me
[02:04.94] But the devil take that woman, cause you know she tricked me easy
[02:11.89] Musha ring dum a doo dam a da
[02:16.95] Whack for my daddy-o
[02:20.91] Whack for my daddy-o
[02:24.19] There's whiskey in the jar-o
[02:29.43]
[03:35.05] Being drunk and weary, I went to Molly's chamber
[03:42.82] Takin' my Molly with me and I never knew the danger
[03:50.42] For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
[03:57.84] I jumped up, fired off my pistols, and I shot him with both barrels
[04:05.78] Musha ring dum a do dam a da
[04:10.84] Whack for my daddy-o
[04:14.78] Whack for my daddy-o
[04:17.94] There's whiskey in the jar-o
[04:22.94]
[04:37.94] Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'
[04:46.09] And some men like to hear the cannon ball a-roarin'
[04:54.19] Me, I like sleepin', 'specially in my Molly's chamber
[05:01.95] But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah
[05:08.84] Musha ring dum a do dam a da
[05:14.01] Whack for my daddy-o
[05:18.04] Whack for my daddy-o
[05:21.26] There's whiskey in the jar-o
[05:24.35]
