[Verse 1]
As CI was going over the Amfar famed Kerry mountains,
I Fmet with Captain Farrell and his Cmoney he was count'n.
I first produced me pistol, and Amthen produced me rapier,
Saying sFtand and deliver for you Care the bold deceiver.
[Chorus]
Musha rGig um du rum da
CWhack fol the daddy o
FWhack fol the daddy o
There's Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar
[Verse 2]
I cCounted out his money Amand it made a pretty penny,
I Fput it in me pocket and I took itC home to Jenny.
She sighed and she swore that shAme never would deceive me,
But the Fdevil take the women for Cthey never can be easy.
[Chorus]
Musha rGig um du rum da
CWhack fol the daddy o
FWhack fol the daddy o
There's Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar
[Verse 3]
I wCent up to me chamber Amall for to take a slumber
I Fdreamt of gold and jewels and surCe it was no wonder,
But Jenny drew me charges and shAme filled them up with water,
And sentF for Captain Farrel, to bCe ready for the slaughter.
[Chorus]
Musha rGig um du rum da
CWhack fol the daddy o
FWhack fol the daddy o
There's Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar
[Verse 4]
'TwCas early in the morniAmng before I rose to travel,
UpF comes a band of footmen and likeCwise Captain Farrell;
I first produce my pistol, for sAmhe stole away my rapier
But I coFuldn't shoot the water, sCo a prisoner I was taken.
[Chorus]
Musha rGig um du rum da
CWhack fol the daddy o
FWhack fol the daddy o
There's Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar
[Verse 5]
AndC if anyone can aid meAm, 'tis my brother in the army,
IfF I could learn his station in CorCk or in Killarney.
And if he'd come and join me we'Amd go roving through Kilkenny,
I'm sureF he'd treat me fairer thaCn my own sporting Jenny.
[Chorus]
Musha rGig um du rum da
CWhack fol the daddy o
FWhack fol the daddy o
There's Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar
[Verse 6]
TheCre's some takes deligAmht in the carriages a rolling,
SoFme takes delight in the hurley orC the bowlin'.
But I takes delight in the juiceAm of the barley,
And courFting pretty fair maids inC the morning bright and early.
[Chorus]
Musha rGig um du rum da
CWhack fol the daddy o
FWhack fol the daddy o
There's Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar
