RE SIm
As I was going over the Kilmagenny mountain
SOL RE LA
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting.
RE SIm
I first produced my pistol, and the produced my rapier.
SOL RE SIm
Said stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver,
LA
musha ring dumma do damma da
RE
whack for the daddy 'ol
SOL
whack for the daddy 'ol
RE LA RE
there's whiskey in the jar
RE SIm
I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny.
SOL RE LA
I put it in my pocket and I brought it home to Jenny.
RE SIm
She said and she swore, that she never would deceive me,
SOL RE SIm
but the devil take the women, for they never can be easy
LA
musha ring dumma do damma da
RE
whack for the daddy 'ol
SOL
whack for the daddy 'ol
RE LA RE
there's whiskey in the jar
RE SIm
I went into my chamber, for to take a slumber,
SOL RE LA
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder.
RE SIm
But Jenny took my charges and she filled them up with water,
SOL RE SIm
and send for captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter.
LA
musha ring dumma do damma da
RE
whack for the daddy 'ol
SOL
whack for the daddy 'ol
RE LA RE
there's whiskey in the jar
RE SIm
It was early in the morning, before I rose to travel,
SOL RE LA
the guards were all around me and likewise captain Farrel.
RE SIm
I first produced my pistol, for she stole away my rapier,
SOL RE SIm
but I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken.
LA
musha ring dumma do damma da
RE
whack for the daddy 'ol
SOL
whack for the daddy 'ol
RE LA RE
there's whiskey in the jar
RE SIm
If anyone can aid me, it's my brother in the army,
SOL RE LA
if I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney.
RE SIm
And if he'll come and save me, we'll go roving near Kilkenny,
SOL RE SIm
and I swear he'll treat me better than me darling sportling Jenny
LA
musha ring dumma do damma da
RE
whack for the daddy 'ol
SOL
whack for the daddy 'ol
RE LA RE
there's whiskey in the jar
RE SIm
Now some men take delight in the drinking and the roving,
SOL RE LA
but others take delight in the gambling and the smoking.
RE SIm
But I take delight in the juice of the barley,
SOL RE SIm
and courting pretty Jenny in the morning bright and early
LA
musha ring dumma do damma da
RE
whack for the daddy 'ol
SOL
whack for the daddy 'ol
RE LA RE
there's whiskey in the jar !
