Whiskey In The Jar

whiskey in the jar Verse C Am as i was going over the cork and kerry mountains , F C i met with captain farrel and his money he was counting . Am i first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier , F C saying ’stand and deliver for you are my bold deceiver’ . Chorus G musha ring dum a doo dum a da C whack fol the Daddy o , F whack fol the Daddy o , C G C there’s whiskey in the jar . C Am he counted out his money and it was a pretty penny F C i put it in my pocket and i took it home to jenny Am she sighed and she swore that never would she leave me F C but the devil take the women for they never can be easy Chorus : C Am i went into my chamber all for to take a slumber , F C i dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder . Am but jenny drew my charges , she filled them up with water , F C she sent for captain farrel to be ready for the slaughter . Chorus : C Am ’twas early in the morning , just before i rose to travel F C up comes a band of troopers likewise captain farrel Am i then produced my pistol for she stole away my rapier F C but i couldn’t shoot the water , so a prisoner i was taken Chorus : C Am now there’s some take delight in the carriages a rolling F C and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling Am but i take delight in the juice of the barley F C and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early Chorus : C Am if anyone can help me , it’s my brother in the army , F C if i can find his station be it cork or in killarney . Am and if he’d come and join me , we’d go roving in kilkenny . F C and i’m sure he’ll treat me better than my own A - sporting jenny . Chorus : ( repeat twice )
