[Verse 1]
AsC I was going over theAm Cork & Kerry mountain
I Fmet with captain Farrell and his Cmoney he was Gcounting.
I Cfirst produced my pistol, Amand the produced my rapier.
Said Fstand and deliver, for I Cam a bold Gdeceiver,
[Chorus]
Fmusha ring dumma do damma da
Cwhack for the daddy 'ol
Fwhack for the daddy 'ol
there's Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar
[Verse 2]
I cCounted out his money,Am and it made a pretty penny.
I Fput it in my pocket and I broughtC it home to JGenny.
SheC said and she swore, Amthat she never would deceive me,
buFt the devil take the women, for tChey never canG be easy
[Chorus]
Fmusha ring dumma do damma da
Cwhack for the daddy 'ol
Fwhack for the daddy 'ol
there's Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar
[Verse 3]
I wCent into my chamber, Amfor to take a slumber,
I Fdreamt of gold and jewels and forC sure it was Gno wonder.
ButC Jenny took my chargeAms and she filled them up with water,
anFd send for captain Farrel to be rCeady for the Gslaughter.
[Chorus]
Fmusha ring dumma do damma da
Cwhack for the daddy 'ol
Fwhack for the daddy 'ol
there's Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar
[Verse 4]
It Cwas early in the mornAming, before I rose to travel,
thFe guards were all around me and lCikewise captaGin Farrel.
I fCirst produced my pistAmol, for she stole away my rapier,
buFt I couldn't shoot the water so aC prisoner I wGas taken.
[Chorus]
Fmusha ring dumma do damma da
Cwhack for the daddy 'ol
Fwhack for the daddy 'ol
there's Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar
[Verse 5]
If Canyone can aid me, itAm's my brother in the army,
ifF I can find his station in Cork oCr in KillarneGy.
AndC if he'll come and saAmve me, we'll go roving near Kilkenny,
anFd I swear he'll treat me better tChan me darlinGg sportling Jenny
[Chorus]
Fmusha ring dumma do damma da
Cwhack for the daddy 'ol
Fwhack for the daddy 'ol
there's Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar
[Verse 6]
NowC some men take delighAmt in the drinking and the roving,
buFt others take delight in the gambCling and the Gsmoking.
ButC I take delight in thAme juice of the barley,
anFd courting pretty Jenny in the moCrning bright Gand early
[Chorus]
Fmusha ring dumma do damma da
Cwhack for the daddy 'ol
Fwhack for the daddy 'ol
there's Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar
