whiskey in the jar - blackthorn lyrics

Loading...

as i was going over the far gilgarra mountain
i met with captain farrell and his money he was countin’
i first produced me pistols, i then produced me rapier
saying, “stand and deliver, for you are a bold deceiver”

mush a ringum durum dah
whack fol the daddy-o, whack fol the daddy-o
there’s whiskey in the jar

i counted out his money, it made a pretty penny.
i put it in my pocket and i took it on home to jenny
she sighed and she swore she never would deceive me
but the devil take that woman for she never could be easy

mush a ringum durum dah
whack fol the daddy-o, whack fol the daddy-o
there’s whiskey in the jar

i went into my chamber all for to take a slumber
i dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder
but jenny took me chargers, she filled them up with water
she sent for captain farrell i was ready for the slaughter

mush a ringum durum dah
whack fol the daddy-o, whack fol the daddy-o
there’s whiskey in the jar

now early in the morning before i rose to travel
up came a band of footmen and likewise captain farrell
i couldn’t fire me chargers for she’d filled them up with water
she stole away my rapier and a prisoner i was taken

mush a ringum durum dah
whack fol the daddy-o, whack fol the daddy-o
there’s whiskey in the jar

if anyone can help me it’s my brother in the army
if i can find his station, in cork or in kilarney
if he’ll go with me we’ll go roamin’ in kilkenny
and i know he’ll treat me better than me darlin’ sportin’ jenny

mush a ringum durum dah
whack fol the daddy-o, whack fol the daddy-o
there’s whiskey in the jar

now some take delight in the carriages a-rollin’
there’s others take delight in the hurley and the bowlin’
but me, i take delight in the juice of the barley
and courtin’ pretty girls in the mornin’ so early

mush a ringum durum dah
whack fol the daddy-o, whack fol the daddy-o
there’s whiskey in the jar

mush a ringum durum dah
whack fol the daddy-o, whack fol the daddy-o
there’s whiskey in the jar

mush a ringum durum dah
whack fol the daddy-o, whack fol the daddy-o
there’s whiskey in the jar
