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 I am your bold deceiver 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 I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny She smiled and she swore that she never would deceive me But the devil take the women for they always lie so 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 I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber I dreamt of gold and jewels and sure it was no wonder But Jenny took me charges and she filled them up with water Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter 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 Next morning very early, before I rose to travel Up came a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell I first produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier But I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken 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 If anyone can aid me it's my brother in the army I know that he is stationed in Cork or in Killarney And if he'll come and join me, we'll go rovin' round Killkenney And I know he'll treat me better than my darling, sporting Jenny 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 There's some take delight in the carriages a rolling And others take delight in the hurling or 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 dumb-a do dumb-a da Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar
