Whiskey in the Jar
G Em
As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains,
C G
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'.
G Em
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier,
C G
Sayin' stand and deliver, for you are a bold deceiver.
Chorus:
C
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da,
G
Whack for my daddy-o,
C
Whack for my daddy-o,
G D G
There's whiskey in the jar-o.
G Em
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny,
C G
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny.
G Em
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me,
C G
But the devil take the women, for they never can be easy.
G Em
I went into my chamber all for to take a slumber,
C G
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder.
G Em
But Jenny drew my charges and she filled them up with water,
C G
And sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter.
