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:
|Musha [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 [G] if he'll come with me, we'll go [Em] roving near Kilkenny,
and I'm [C] sure he'll treat me better than me [G] own sporting Jenny.
Chorus:
Verse 6:
Now [G] some men take delight in the [Em] carriages a rollin',
But [C] others take delight in the [G] hurley and the bowlin'.
But [G] I take delight in the [Em] juice of the barley,
and [C] courting pretty fair maids in the [G] morning bright and early.
|Chorus:
|Musha [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
