Whiskey In The Jar
Verse
As CI was going over the Amcork and Kerry mountains,
I Fmet with Captain Farrel and his Cmoney he was counting.
I first produced my pistol and Amthen produced my rapier,
Saying 'FStand and deliver for you Care my bold deceiver'.
Chorus
Musha Gring dum a doo dum a da
CWhack fol the daddy o,
FWhack fol the daddy o,
There's Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar.
He Ccounted out his money and it Amwas a pretty penny
I Fput it in my pocket and I Ctook it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore that Amnever would she leave me
But Fthe devil take the women for they Cnever can be easy
Chorus:
I Cwent into my chamber all Amfor to take a slumber,
I Fdreamt of gold and jewels and for Csure it was no wonder.
But Jenny drew my charges, she Amfilled them up with water,
She Fsent for Captain Farrel to be Cready for the slaughter.
Chorus:
'Twas Cearly in the morning, just Ambefore I rose to travel
Up Fcomes a band of troopers Clikewise Captain Farrel
I then produced my pistol for she Amstole away my rapier
But FI couldn't shoot the water, so a Cprisoner I was taken
Chorus:
Now Cthere's some take delight in the Amcarriages a rolling
and Fothers take delight in the Churling and the bowling
but I take delight in the Amjuice of the barley
and Fcourting pretty fair maids in the Cmorning bright and early
Chorus:
If Canyone can help me, it's my Ambrother in the army,
If FI can find his station be it CCork or in Killarney.
And if he'd come and join me, we'd go Amroving in Kilkenny.
And Fi'm sure he'll treat me better than my Cown a-sporting Jenny.
Chorus: (repeat twice)
