Lyrics

[00:20.301] As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains
[00:25.192] I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
[00:29.527] I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier
[00:33.823] Saying "Stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver
[00:37.877] Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
[00:40.909] Whack for my daddy-o.
[00:43.057] Whack for my daddy-o
[00:44.648] There's whiskey in the jar
[00:46.703] I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
[00:51.094] I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny
[00:55.203] She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
[00:59.451] But the devil take the women for they never can be easy
[01:03.336] Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
[01:06.410] Whack for my daddy-o.
[01:08.553] Whack for my daddy-o
[01:09.878] There's whiskey in the jar
[01:12.251] I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber
[01:16.397] I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't was no wonder
[01:20.549] But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water
[01:24.657] Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter
[01:28.615] Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
[01:31.601] Whack for my daddy-o.
[01:33.744] Whack for my daddy-o
[01:35.055] There's whiskey in the jar
[01:37.200] 'Twas was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
[01:41.388] Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell
[01:45.584] I first produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier
[01:49.636] I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken
[01:53.466] Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
[01:56.418] Whack for my daddy-o.
[01:58.512] Whack for my daddy-o
[02:00.089] There's whiskey in the jar
[02:01.997] If anyone can aid me 't is my brother in the army
[02:06.169] If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
[02:10.123] And if he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' through Killkenny
[02:14.321] And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny
[02:17.728] Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
[02:20.901] Whack for my daddy-o.
[02:23.151] Whack for my daddy-o
[02:24.271] There's whiskey in the jar
[02:26.118] Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
[02:29.013] Whack for my daddy-o.
[02:31.110] Whack for my daddy-o
[02:32.409] There's whiskey in the jar
