    Lyrics
    Whiskey In The Jar

    As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains
    I met with Captain Farrel and his money he was counting
    I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier
    Saying "Stand and deliver for I am a bold deceiver"

    (chorus)

    Wisha ring dumma do dumma da
    Whack fol the daddyo
    Whack fol the daddyo
    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 home to Jenny
    She sighed and she swore saying she never would deceive me
    Well the devil take the women for they never can be easy

    (chorus)

    I went inside my chamber all for to take a slumber
    And dream of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder
    Well Jenny took my charges and she filled them up with water
    Then sent for Captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter

    (chorus)

    'Twas early in the morning just before I rose to travel
    Up comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrel
    I run for my pistol for she'd stolen away my rapier
    I couldn't shoot for water so a prisoner I was taken

    (chorus)

    Now if anyone can aid me 'tis my brother in the army
    If I can find his station be it Cork or in Killarney
    And if he'll go with me we'll go roaming through Kilkenny
    I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own miscourting Jenny

    (chorus)

    Well there's some take delight in the hurling and the bowling
    And some take delight in the carriages a rolling
    But I take delight in the juice of the barley
    And courting pretty maidens in the morning bright and early

    (chorus) X 2
