Whiskey in the Jar - The Dubliners/Traditional

作词：Traditional

作曲：Traditional

As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains

I met with captain Farrell

and his money he was counting

I first produced me pistol

and I then produced me rapier

Saying Stand and deliver for

he were a bold deceiver

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da

Wack fall the daddy-o wack fall the daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar

I counted out his money

and it made a pretty penny

I put it in me pocket

and I took it home to Jenny

She sighed and she swore

that she never would deceive me

But the devil take the women

for they never can be easy

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da

Wack fall the daddy-o wack fall the daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar

I went up to my chamber all for to take a slumber

I dreamt of gold and jewels

and for sure 't was no wonder

But Jenny drew me charges

and she filled them up with water

Sent Then for captain Farrell

to be ready for the slaughter

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da

Wack fall the daddy-o wack fall the daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar

And 't was early in the morning

just before I rose to travel

Up comes a band of footmen

and likewise captain Farrell

I first produced me pistol for

she stolen away me rapier

I couldn't shoot the water

so a prisoner I was taken

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da

Wack fall the daddy-o wack fall the daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar

There's some take delight

in the carriages a rolling

And others take delight

in the hurling and the bowling

But I take delight in the juice of the barley

And courting pretty fair maids

in the morning bright and early

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da

Wack fall the daddy-o wack fall the daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar

If anyone can aid me 't is my brother in the army

If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney

And if he'll go with me

we'll go rovin' in Killkenney

And I'm sure he'll treat me

better than my own a-sporting Jenny

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da

Wack fall the daddy-o wack fall the daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da

Wack fall the daddy-o wack fall the daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar
