Whiskey In The Jar [C]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 beAmfore 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 x2 Slowing On The Last Line
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.
