{t:Whiskey In The Jar}
{st:Traditional}


As [C]I was going over the [Am]far famed Kerry Mountains,
I [F]met with Captain Farrel and his [C]money he was [G]countin'
I [C]first produced me pistol and [Am]then produced me rapier
Sayin' "[F]Stand and deliver for you [C]are a bold deceiver"
Musha [G]ring dum a doo dum a da
[C]Whack fol the daddy-o
[F]Whack fol the daddy-o
There's [C]whiskey [G]in the [C]jar



I [C]counted out his money and it [Am]made a pretty penny
I [F]put it in me pocket and I [C]took it home to [G]Jenny
She [C]sighed and she swore that [Am]she ne’er would deceive me
But the [F]devil take that women for she [C]never can be easy
Musha [G]ring dum a doo dum a da

{c:instrumental}

I [C]went into me chamber all [Am]for to take a slumber
I [F]dreamt of gold and jewels and for [C]sure it was no w[G]onder
But [C]Jenny drew me charges and [Am]filled them out with water
Then [F]sent for Captain Farrel to be r[C]eady for the slaughter
Musha [G]ring dum a doo dum a da
[C]Whack fol the daddy-o
[F]Whack fol the daddy-o
There's [C]whiskey [G]in the [C]jar

'Twas[C] early in the morning just be[Am]fore I rose to travel
Up [F]comes a band of footmen and [C]likewise Captain [G]Farrel
I [C]first produced me pistol for she [Am]stole away me rapier
But I [F]couldn't shoot the water so a [C]prisoner I was taken
Musha [G]ring dum a doo dum a da
[C]Whack fol the daddy-o
[F]Whack fol the daddy-o
There's [C]whiskey [G]in the [C]jar

{c:instrumental}

If [C]anyone can help me 'tis me [Am]brother in the army
If [F]I can find his station in [C]Cork or in [G]Killarney
And [C]if he will go with me we'll go [Am]roving in Kilkenny
And [F]I'm sure he'll treat me better than me old a-s[C]porting Jenny
Musha [G]ring dum a doo dum a da

Now [C]there's some take delight in the [Am]carriages a rolling
And [F]others take delight in the [C]hurling and the [G]bowling
But [C]I take delight in the juice of the [Am]barley
And [F]courting pretty fair maids in the [C]morning bright and early
Musha [G]ring dum a doo dum a da
