whiskey in the jar - bedlam bards lyrics

as i was going over the far famed kerry mountain’s
i met with captain farrell and his money he was counting
i first produced me pistol, and then produced me rapier
sayin’ stand and deliver, for i am your bold deceiver
chorus
musha ringm darram adar, whack for the daddy ‘ol
whack for the daddy ‘ol, there’s whiskey in the jar
i counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny
i put it in my pocket and i took it home to jenny
she smiled 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 me chamber, for to take a slumber
i dreamt of gold and jewels and sure it was no wonder
for jenny took my charges and she filled them up with water
and sent for captain ferrell to be ready for the slaughter
chorus
it was early in the morning, before i rose to travel
the guards were all around me and likewise captain ferrell
i first produced me pistol, for she stole away me rapier
i couldn’t shoot the water so a prisoner i was taken
chorus
if anyone can aid me, it’s me brother in the army
i think that he is stationed in cork or in k!llarney
and if he’ll come and join me, we’ll go roving in kilkenny
and i swear he’ll treat me better than me darling sporting jenny
chorus
now some take delight in the hurlin’ and the bowling
others take delight in the carriages a rollin’
but i take delight in the juice of the barley
and courting ren faire wenches in the morning oh so early
chorus
