Whiskey In The Jar

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 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 I went unto my chamber, all for to take a slumber I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter 'Twas early in the morning, before I rose to travel Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell I first produced me pistol for she'd stolen away my rapier I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken If anyone can aid me 'tis 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 roamin' through Kilkenney And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own me sportin' Jenny Chorus: Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da Whack fall the daddy-o, whack fall the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar 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 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 I went unto my chamber, all for to take a slumber I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter 'Twas early in the morning, before I rose to travel Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell I first produced me pistol for she'd stolen away my rapier I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken If anyone can aid me 'tis 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 roamin' through Kilkenney And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own me sportin' Jenny Chorus: Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da Whack fall the daddy-o, whack fall the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar 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 I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny, "Home To Jenny!!!"
