Whisky In The Jar Lyrics

As I was going over the far famed Kerry Mountains I spied Captain Farrel and his money he was counting I first produced my pistol and then I produced my rapier Saying stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver Ch: Musha ring dam a do dam a da Whack for di daddio Whack for di daddio 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 Jennie She swore and she sighed that she never would deceive me But the Devil take the woman for they never can be easy Ch I went onto my chamber for to take a little slumber I dreamt of golden jewels and for sure it was no wonder But Jennie drew my charges and she filled them up with water Then sent for Captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter Ch It was early in the morning as I rose to rtavel Up comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrel I first produced my pistol for she'd stolen away my rapier But I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken Ch There's some take delight in the carriages a-rolling Others take delight in the hurley and the bowling But I take delight in the juice of the barley And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early Ch And if anyone can aid me 'tis my brother in the army If I can fight a station in Cork or in Killarney And if he'll go with me we'll be roaming in Kilkenny And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my only sporting Jennie Ch
