Whiskey In The Jar
Verse
C Am
As I was going over the cork and Kerry mountains,
F C
I met with Captain Farrel and his money he was counting.
Am
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier,
F C
Saying 'Stand and deliver for you are my bold deceiver'.
Chorus
G
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
C
Whack fol the daddy o,
F
Whack fol the daddy o,
C G C
There's whiskey in the jar.
C Am
He counted out his money and it was a pretty penny
F C
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny
Am
She sighed and she swore that never would she leave me
F C
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy
Chorus:
C Am
I went into my chamber all for to take a slumber,
F C
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder.
Am
But Jenny drew my charges, she filled them up with water,
F C
She sent for Captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter.
Chorus:
C Am
'Twas early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
F C
Up comes a band of troopers likewise Captain Farrel
Am
I then produced my pistol for she stole away my rapier
F C
But I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken
Chorus:
C Am
Now there's some take delight in the carriages a rolling
F C
and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling
Am
but I take delight in the juice of the barley
F C
and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
Chorus:
C Am
If anyone can help me, it's my brother in the army,
F C
If I can find his station be it Cork or in Killarney.
Am
And if he'd come and join me, we'd go roving in Kilkenny.
F C
And i'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a—sporting Jenny.
Chorus: (repeat twice)
