Whiskey In The Jar

(album: Heritage - 2011)

[Keith]
As I was a going over Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol then produced my rapier
I said "Stand and deliver" or the devil he may take you

[Chorus:]
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

[Neil]
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she loved me, never would she leave me
But the devil take that women for she knows she treat me easy.

[Chorus]

[Keith]
Round about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistol and I shot him with both barrels

[Chorus]

[Neil]
Some men like the fishin. Some men like the fowlin
Some men like to hear the cannon ball a-rollin

[Keith]
Me, I like sleepin';
'Specially in my Molly's chamber.
But here I am in prison
Here I am on the ball and chain, yeah!

[Chorus]
