Whiskey In The Jar

As [G]I was goin' over the [Em]far famed Kerry mountains,
I [C]met with Captain Farrel and his [G]money he was [D]countin'
I [G]first produced me pistol and [Em]then produced me rapier,
Sayin[C]' "Stand and deliver for you[G] are a bold deceiver"

Musha [D]rig um du rum da
[G]Whack fol the daddy O,
[C]Whack fol the daddy O,
There's [G]whiskey [D]in the [G]jar.

I [G]counted out his money and it [Em]made a pretty penny
I [C]put it in me pocket and I [G]took it home to my [D]Jenny
She [G]sighed and she swore that she [Em]never would deceive me
But the [C]devil take the women for they [G]never can be easy

Musha [D]rig um du rum da
[G]Whack fol the daddy O,
[C]Whack fol the daddy O,
There's [G]whiskey [D]in the [G]jar.

I [G]went up to my chamber, all [Em]for to take a slumber
I [C]dreamt of gold and jewels and for [G]sure 't was no [D]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

Musha [D]rig um du rum da
[G]Whack fol the daddy O,
[C]Whack fol the daddy O,
There's [G]whiskey [D]in the [G]jar.

't was [G]early in the morning, just be[Em]fore I rose to travel
Up [C]comes a band of footmen and like[G]wise captain [D]Farrell
I [G]first produced me pistol for she [Em]stole away me rapier
I [C]couldn't shoot the water, so a [G]prisoner I was taken

Musha [D]rig um du rum da
[G]Whack fol the daddy O,
[C]Whack fol the daddy O,
There's [G]whiskey [D]in the [G]jar.

Now [G]there's some take delight in the [Em]carriages a rolling
and [C]others take delight in the [G]hurling and the [D]bowling
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

Musha [D]rig um du rum da
[G]Whack fol the daddy O,
[C]Whack fol the daddy O,
There's [G]whiskey [D]in the [G]jar.

If [G]anyone can aid me 't is me [Em]brother in the army
If [C]I can find his station in [G]Cork or in Ki[D]llarney
And [G]if he'll go with me, we'll go [Em]rovin' through Killkenny
And [C]I'm sure he'll treat me better than my [G]own a-sporting Jenny

Musha [D]rig um du rum da
[G]Whack fol the daddy O,
[C]Whack fol the daddy O,
There's [G]whiskey [D]in the [G]jar.
