Whiskey In The Jar - Thin Lizzy Verse 1: [C] As I was a goin' over the [Am] far famed Kerry mountains I [F] met with Captain Farrell and his [C] money he was counting I [C] first produced my pistol and I [Am] then produced my rapier Said [F] "Stand and deliver" for you [C] are my bold deceiver |Chorus: |With me [G] ring dum-a doo dum-a da |[C] Whack for the daddy-o [F] whack for the daddy-o |There's [C] whiskey [G7] in the [C] jar. Verse 2: I [C] counted out his money and it [Am] made a pretty penny I [F] put it in me pocket and I [C] brought it home to Jenny She [C] said and she swore that she [Am] never would deceive me But the [F] devil take the women for they [C] never can be easy Chorus: Verse 3: I [C] went into my chamber, all [Am] for to take a slumber I [F] dreamt of gold and jewels and for [C] sure it was no wonder But [C] Jenny drew me charges and she [Am] filled them up with water Then [F] sent for captain Farrell to be [C] ready for the slaughter. Chorus: Verse 4: It was [C] early in the morning, just be[Am]fore I rose to travel The [F] guards were all around me and [C] likewise Captain Farrell I [C] first produced me pistol for she [Am] stole away me rapier But I [F] couldn't shoot the water, so a [C] prisoner I was taken. Chorus: Verse 5: If [C] anyone can aid me, it's my [Am] brother in the army, If [F] I can find his station in [C] Cork or in Killarney. And [C] if he'll come and save me, we'll go [Am] roving near Kilkenny, and I [F] swear he'll treat me better than me [C] darling sportling Jenny. Chorus: Verse 6: Now [C] some men take delight in the [Am] drinking and the roving, But [F] others take delight in the [C] gambling and the smoking. But [C] I take delight in the [Am] juice of the barley, and [F] courting pretty Jenny in the [C] morning bright and early. |Chorus: |With me [G] ring dum-a doo dum-a da |[C] Whack for the daddy-o [F] whack for the daddy-o |There's [C] whiskey [G7] in the [C] jar.
