Fiddler's Green - Whiskey In The Jar lyrics

[Fiddler's Green - Whiskey In The Jar lyrics]

As I was going over the
Cork and Kerry Mountains
I met with Captain Farrell and
His money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and
Then produced my rapier
Saying "Stand and deliver
Or the devil he may take ya"

I counted out his money and
It made a pretty penny
I put it in my pocket and
I took it home to Molly
She swore that she loved me, no
Never would she leave me
But the devil take that women for
You know she tricked me easy

Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Being drunk and weary I
Went to Molly's chamber
Takin' Molly with me but I
Never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven
In walked Captain Farrell i jumped up
Fired my pistols and I shot
Him with both barrels

Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Now some men like the fishin'
And some men like the fowlin'
Some men like to hear
To hear the cannonball roarin'
Me, I like sleeping
'specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I
Am with a ball and chain, yeah

Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
