Whiskey in the Jar - Cornamusa
Written by:Traditional
As I was goin' over the cork and kerry mountainsi
Saw captain farrell and his money he was countin'
I first
Produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said stand o'er and deliver or the devil he
May take ya musha ring dumb a do dumb a
Da
Whack for my daddy ow
Hack for my daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar o
I took all of his money and it was a
Pretty penny
I took all of his money and I brought it
Home to molly
She swore that she'd love me
No never would she leave
Me
But the devil take that woman for you know she
Tricked me easy
Musha ring dumb a do dumb a
Dawhack for my
Daddy o
Whack for my daddy o there's whiskey in the jar o
Being drunk and weary I went to molly's chamber
Takin' my money with me and I never knew the
Danger
For about six or maybe seven in walked captain farrell
I jumped up fired off my pistols and I shot
Him with both barrels
Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da
Whack for my daddy o
Whack for my daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar o
Hey
Now some men like the fishin' and some men like
The fowlin' and some men like
To hear to hear a cannon
Ball a roarin'
Me I like sleepin' specially in my molly's chamber
But here I am in prison here I am with
A ball and chain yeah
Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da
Whack for my daddy o
Whack for my daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar o
Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da
Whack for my daddy o
Whack for my daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar
