Whiskey in the jar (Capo 3)
G Em
As I was going over the far fam'd Kerry Mountains,
C G D
I met with Captain Farrel, and his money he was countin',
G Em
I first produced my pistol, and I then produced my rapier,
C G
Sayin': "Stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver".
[Chorus]
D
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da,
G
Whack for the daddy ol',
C
Whack for the daddy ol',
G D G
There's whiskey in the jar.
G Em
I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny,
C G D
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.
[Chorus]
G Em
I went into my chamber all for to take a slumber,
C G D
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder,
G Em
But Jenny drew my charges and she filled them out with water,
C G
Then sent for Captain Farrel, to be ready for the slaughter.
[Chorus]
D
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da,
G
Whack for the daddy ol',
C
Whack for the daddy ol',
G D G
There's whiskey in the jar.
G Em
'Twas early in the morning just before I rose to travel,
C G D
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise, Captain Farrel,
G Em
I first produced my pistol for she stole away my rapier,
C G
But I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken.
[Chorus]
G Em
Now there's some take delight in the carriages a rolling
C G D
and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling
G Em
but I take delight in the juice of the barley
C G
and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
[Chorus]
G Em
If anyone can aid me 'tis my brother in the army,
C G D
If I can find his station, in Cork or in Killarney,
G Em
And if he'll go with me we'll go roving in Kilkenny,
C G
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my old a-sporting Jenny.
