Whiskey in the Jar

Lyrics

[Verse 1] As I was goin' over Kilgarra Mountain I met with Captain Farrell, and his money he was countin' First, I drew my pistol, and I rattled forth my saber "And stand and deliver for I am your bold receiver" [Chorus] Musha ringum durnda Whack fol the daddy-o Whack fol the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar [Verse 2] He counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny I took the money home, and I gave it to my Jenny She sighed, and she swore that she never would deceive me But the Dеvil's in the women, and they nеver will be easy [Chorus] Musha ringum durnda Whack fol the daddy-o Whack fol the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar [Verse 3] Early in the mornin', 'tween the hours of six and seven The guards were standin' 'round me, and numbers are uneven I flew to my pistols but alas, I was mistaken For Jenny wet the powder, and a prisoner I was taken [Chorus] Musha ringum durnda Whack fol the daddy-o Whack fol the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar [Verse 4] I think I'll find my brother, the one that's in the army I don't know where he's stationed, is it Cork or in Killarney? Together we'll go roamin' in the mountains of Kilkenny And I dare he'll treat me fairer than my darlin', sportin' Jenny [Chorus] Musha ringum durnda Whack fol the daddy-o Whack fol the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar [Verse 5] Some take delight in fishin' and a-bowlin' Others take delight in the carriage rollin' But I take delight in the juice of the barley A-courtin' pretty girls in the mornin' so early [Chorus] Musha ringum durnda Whack fol the daddy-o (Whack) Whack fol the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar Musha ringum durnda (Durnda) Whack fol the daddy-o (Durnda) Whack fol the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar (Let's sing it one more time) Musha ringum durnda (Durnda, durnda) Whack fol the daddy-o (Durnda, durnda) Whack fol the daddy-o Well, there's whiskey in the jar
