As I was going over the |
|
Cork and Kerry mountains |
|
I met with |
|
Captain Farrell and his money he was countin' |
|
I first produced my pistol and then |
|
I drew my rapier |
|
Saying, "Stand and deliver, for I am the bold deceiver" |
|
With your ring dum-a-do-dum-a-da |
|
Whack for the daddy-o |
|
Whack for the daddy-o |
|
There's whiskey in the jar |
|
He counted out his money and it made a pretty penny |
|
I put it in my pocket and |
|
I brought it home to |
|
JennyShe sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me |
|
But the devil take the women, for they never can be easy |
|
With your ring dum-a-do-dum-a-da |
|
Whack for the daddy-o |
|
Whack for the daddy-o |
|
There's whiskey in the jar |
|
I went into my chamber, all for to take a slumber |
|
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder |
|
But Jenny drew my charges and she filled them up with water |
|
And called on |
|
Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter |
|
With your ring dum-a-do-dum-a-da |
|
Whack for the daddy-o |
|
Whack for the daddy-o |
|
There's whiskey in the jar |
|
And 'twas early in the morning before |
|
I rose to travel |
|
Up came a band of footmen and likewise |
|
Captain Farrell |
|
I first produced my pistol for she stole away my rapier |
|
But I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner |
|
I was taken |
|
With your ring dum-a-do-dum-a-da |
|
Whack for the daddy-o |
|
Whack for the daddy-o |
|
There's whiskey in the jar |
|
If anyone can aid me, it's me brothers in the army |
|
If I can find their station in |
|
Cork or in |
|
KillarneyAnd if they come and join us, we'll go roving in |
|
KilkennyAnd |
|
I guess they'll treat me better than my darling, sportin' |
|
JennyWith your ring dum-a-do-dum-a-da |
|
Whack for the daddy-o |
|
Whack for the daddy-o |
|
There's whiskey in the jar |
|
With your ring dum-a-do-dum-a-da |
|
Whack for the daddy-o |
|
