The Trammps - Whisky in the jar lyrics
[The Trammps - Whisky in the jar lyrics]
As I was going over the Kilmagenny mountains
I met with captain Farrel and
His money he was counting
I first prodused my pistol
And then I drew my sabre
Saying: "Stand and deliver
For I am a bold deceiver!"
Wish a ring a ra do rum di
Whack fol me daddio whack fol me daddio
There's whisky in the jar
I counted out his money
And it made a pretty penny
I put it in my pocket and
I sent it home to Jenny
She smiled and she swore that
She never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for
They never can be easy
Wish a ring a ra do rum di
Whack fol me daddio whack fol me daddio
There's whisky in the jar
I went into my chamber for
To take a little slumber
I dreamed of gold and silver and
Sure it was no wonder
For Jenny drew my charges and
Filled them up with water
Then called for captain Farrel to
Be ready for the slaughter
Wish a ring a ra do rum di
Whack fol me daddio whack fol me daddio
There's whisky in the jar
It was early in the morning
Before I arose to travel
Along came a band of footmen
And likewise captain Farrel
I first prodused my pistol
And then I drew my sabre
But you cannot shoot with water so
A prisoner I was taken
Wish a ring a ra do rum di
Whack fol me daddio whack fol me daddio
There's whisky in the jar
If anyone can help me it's
My brother in the army
If I could find his station
Be it Cork or Killarny
I know he'd come and see me
We'd go roving in Kilkenny
I bet he'd treat me better
Than my darling sporting Jenny
Wish a ring a ra do rum di
Whack fol me daddio whack fol me daddio
There's whisky in the jar
Wish a ring a ra do rum di
Whack fol me daddio whack fol me daddio
There's whisky in the jar eND
I met with captain Farrel and
His money he was counting
I first prodused my pistol
And then I drew my sabre
Saying: "Stand and deliver
For I am a bold deceiver!"
Wish a ring a ra do rum di
Whack fol me daddio whack fol me daddio
There's whisky in the jar

And it made a pretty penny

But the devil take the women for
