Whiskey in the jar

As I was going over the far famed Kerry Mountains
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'
I first produced my pistol, I then produced my rapier
Said stand and deliver, I am a bold deceiver

Chorus:
Musha ring um a door um da
Whack for the daddi-o, whack for the daddi-o
There's whiskey in the jar
I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put in me pocket for to take it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy
Chorus
I went into my chamber all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels for sure it was no wonder
But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them all with water
And sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter
Chorus
'Twas early the morning before I rose to travel
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrell
I first produced me pistol for she'd stolen away my rapier
I couldn't shoot the water and a prisoner I was taken
Chorus
If anyone can aid me it's me brother in the army
If I could find his station, in Cork or in Killarney
If he will go with me, we'll go rovin' in Killkenny
I'm sure he'll treat me better than me darlin', sportin' Jenny
Chorus
Some take delight in the hurling and the bowling
And some take delight in the carriages a rollin'
I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courtin' pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
Chorus
