Whiskey In The Jar - The Malarkey Brothers
As I was goin' over
The Cork and Kerry Mountains
I met with Captain Farrell
And his money he was countin'
I first produced my pistol
And then produced my rapier
Saying stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in my pocket and I brought it to my Jenny
She said and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
I went into my chamber for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder
But Jenny took my charges and she filled them up with water
And sent for captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
It was early in the morning as I rose to travel
The guards were all around me and likewise captain Farrel
I first produced my pistol for she stole away my rapier
I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
If anyone can aid me it's my brother in the army
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll come join me we'll go roving near Kilkenny
And I swear he'll treat me better than me own sportling Jenny
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
Some men take delight in the drinking and the roving
But others take delight in the carriage wheels a rolling
I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
