Firkin - Whiskey in the jar dalszöveg (lyrics)

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 my pistol and
I then produced my rapier
Saying "stand and deliver for you
Are 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 takes the women for
They never can be easy



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
Then sent for captain Farrell to
Be ready for the slaughter



It 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’s stolen away me rapier
But, 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 a station
In Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll go with me
We'll go rovin' through Killkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better
Than my own a-sporting Jenny
