Luke Kelly - 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 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 j**els 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 k**arney If he will go with me, we'll go rovin' in k**kenny 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
