The Dubliners - Whiskey in the Jar lyrics
[The Dubliners - Whiskey in the Jar 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 he
Were a bold deceiver
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for my daddy-o whack for my 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
Whack for my daddy-o whack for my 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
Then sent for captain Farrell to
Be ready for the slaughter
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for my daddy-o whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
'Twas 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'd 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
Whack for my daddy-o whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Now there's some take delight
In the carriages a-rollin'
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
Whack for my daddy-o whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
If anyone can aid me 'tis
Me 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 Kilkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better
Than my own a-sporting Jenny
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for my daddy-o whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for my daddy-o whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
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 he
Were a bold deceiver
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for my daddy-o whack for my 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

She sighed and she swore that

But the devil take the women for

Whack for my daddy-o whack for my daddy-o
