Whiskey In the Jar Verse 1: [G] As I was a goin' over the [Em] Cork and Kerry mountains I [C] met with Captain Farrell and his [G] money he was counting I [G] first produced my pistol and I [Em] then produced my rapier Said [C] "Stand and deliver" for you [G] are my bold deceiver |Chorus: |With me [D] ring dum-a doo dum-a da |[G] Whack for the daddy-o. [C] whack for the daddy-o |There's [G] whiskey [D7] in the [G] jar | | Verse 2: I [G] counted out his money and it [Em] made a pretty penny I [C] put it in me pocket and I [G] brought it home to Jenny She [G] said and she swore that she [Em] never would deceive me But the [C] devil take the women for they [G] never can be easy Chorus: Verse 3: I [G] went into my chamber, all [Em] for to take a slumber I [C] dreamt of gold and jewels and for [G] sure it was no wonder But [G] Jenny drew me charges and she [Em] filled them up with water Then [C] sent for captain Farrell to be [G] ready for the slaughter. Chorus: Verse 4: It was [G] early in the morning, just be[Em]fore I rose to travel The [C] guards were all around me and [G] likewise Captain Farrell I [G] first produced me pistol for she [Em] stole away me rapier But I [C] couldn't shoot the water, so a [G] prisoner I was taken. Chorus: Verse 5: If [G] anyone can aid me, it's my [Em] brother in the army, If [C] I can find his station in [G] Cork or in Killarney. And [CE] if he'll come and save me, we'll go [Am] roving near Kilkenny, and I [C] swear he'll treat me better than me [G] darling sportling Jenny. Chorus: Verse 6: Now [G] some men take delight in the [Em] drinking and the roving, But [C] others take delight in the [G] gambling and the smoking. But [G] I take delight in the [Em] juice of the barley, and [C] courting pretty Jenny in the [C] morning bright and early. |Chorus: |With me [D] ring dum-a doo dum-a da |[G] Whack for the daddy-o.
