As I was riding over the far -famed
Kerry
Mountains, I met with
Captain
Farrell and his money he was counting.
I first produced me pistol,
and then I drew me sabre,
Said, stand and deliver,
for I am a foul deceiver.
Mush -a -da -goom -doom -dah!
Quack -fall -a -dally -oh!
Quack -fall -a -dally -oh!
There's whiskey in the jar!
I robbed
Captain
Farrell upon
Kilgarry
Mountain I took the gold and ginny for
to help me with the countin'
Ginny called the guards, thought I'd never seen so many I
nearly lost me freedom for me darlin' sportin' ginny
My shuriken, do -rum -da
My fall, the danny -o
My fall, the danny -o
There's whisky in the jar
I went up to me chamber
All for to take a slumber I
dreamed of golden jewels
But sure it was no won der
Virginie took me charges
And filled them up with water
And said for
Captain
Farrell
To be ready for the slaughter
Mush -a -ring -a -do -rum -da,
Whack -a -ball -a -daddy -o,
Whack -a -ball -a -daddy -o,
There's a whisky in the jar
I'd like to find a brother,
the one that's in the army
If I can find a station
B at
Cork or in
Killarney
And if he'll go with me,
we'll go roaming in
Kilkenny
And I swear he'd treat me
better than me own dears
Ford and
Jenny
Mush -a -riggum -do -rum -dah,
Whack -ball -a -danny -o,
Whack -ball -a -danny -o,
There's a whiskey in the jar
My surrender and
I, I call it anio, I call it anio,
there's whiskey in the jar
There's some delight in fishin'
and some delight in bowlin'
And some take delight in their
carriages a -rollin'
And I take delight in the
juice of the barley
And courtin' pretty girls in the
mornin' bright and early
Mush a -riggin', do a -dabbin'
Whack for the dally -o,
whack for the dally -o
There's a whiskey in the jar
Let's shrink him, don't doubt
I call the daddy -o
I call the daddy -o
There's whiskey in the jar
