As I was goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains I met with captain Farrell and his money he was countin' I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier Said "Stand and deliver, for you are a bold deceiver" Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da Whack fall the daddy-o, whack 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 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 dumb-a do dumb-a da Whack fall the daddy-o, whack fall the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar I went into me chambers, all for to take a slumber I dreamt of gold and jewels and sure it was no wonder 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 dumb-a do dumb-a da Whack fall the daddy-o, whack fall the 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 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 Whack fall the daddy-o, whack fall the 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 roamin' in Kilkenny And I'm sure he'll treat me better than me sly, deceivin' Jenny Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da Whack fall the daddy-o, whack fall the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da Whack fall the daddy-o, whack fall the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar
