Whiskey in the Jar

As CI was a goin’ over the farAmfamed Kerry mountains
I Fmet with captain Farrell and his Cmoney he was counting
I first produced my pistol and I Amthen produced my rapier
Saying F“Stand and deliver” for he Cwere a bold deceiver
Musha Gring duma do duma da CWhack for my daddyo
FWhack for my daddyo There’s Cwhiskey Gin the jarC

I Ccounted out his money and it Ammade a pretty penny
I Fput it in me pocket and I Ctook it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she Amnever would deceive me
But the Fdevil take the women for they Cnever can be easy
Musha Gring duma do duma da CWhack for my daddyo
FWhack for my daddyo There’s Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar

I Cwent up to my chamber, all Amfor to take a slumber
I Fdreamt of gold and jewels and for Csure ‘t was no wonder
But Jenny drew me charges and she Amfilled them up with water
Then Fsent for captain Farrell to be Cready for the slaughter
Musha Gring duma do duma da CWhack for my daddyo
FWhack for my daddyo There’s Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar

‘Twas Cearly in the morning, just beAmfore I rose to travel
Up Fcomes a band of footmen and Clikewise captain Farrell
I first produced me pistol for she Amstole away me rapier
I Fcouldn’t shoot the water, so a Cprisoner I was taken
Musha Gring duma do duma da CWhack for my daddyo
FWhack for my daddyo There’s Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar

Now there’s Csome take delight in the Amcarriages arollin’
And Fothers take delight in the hurlCing and the bowling
But I take delight in the Amjuice of the barley
And Fcourting pretty fair maids in the mornCing bright and early
Musha Gring duma do duma da CWhack for my daddyo
FWhack for my daddyo There’s Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar

If Canyone can aid me ‘t is my Ambrother in the army
If FI can find his station in CCork or in Killarney
And if he’ll go with me, we’ll go Amrovin’ through Killkenny
And I’m Fsure he’ll treat me better than my ownCasporting Jenny
Musha Gring duma do duma da CWhack for my daddyo
FWhack for my daddyo There’s Cwhiskey Gin the Cjar
