Whiskey In The Jar Lyrics

As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting I first produced my pistol, and the produced my rapier Saying "Stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver" I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny I put it in my pocket and I brought it home to Jenny She said and she swore, that she never would deceive me but the devil take the women, for they never can be easy I went into my chamber, for to take a little slumber I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder But Jenny drew my charges and she filled them up with water and send for captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter It was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel the guards were all around mea nd likewise captain Farrel I first produced my pistol, for she stole away my rapier but I couldn´t shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken If anyone can aid me, it´s my brother in the army if I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney And if he´ll ride with me, we´ll go stumblin' in Kilkenny and I swear he´ll treat me better than me only sporting Jenny Now some take delight in travelling and calling but others take delight in the Irish ways of rolling But I take delight in the juice of the barley and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early Musha ring dumma do damma da Whack for the daddy ´o Whack for the daddy ´o There´s whiskey in the jar
