whiskey in the jar

Şarkı Sözleri ( Lyrics )

whiskey in the jar (trad.)

as i was a going over the fair fit gilgarra mountains
i met with captain farrell and his money he was counting
i first produced me pistol and i then produced me rapier
saying stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver

mu sha ring du dum du dam da
whack fol the daddy o
whack fol the daddy o
there`s whisky in the jar

i counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
i put it in me pocket and i took it home to jenny
she sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
but the devil take the woman for they never can be easy

mu sha ring du dum du dam da
whack fol the daddy o
whack fol the daddy o
there`s whisky in the jar

i went into my chamber all for to take a slumber
i dreamt of gold and jewels and of course it was no wonder
but jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water
then sent for captain farrell to be ready for the slaughter

mu sha ring du dum du dam da
whack fol the daddy o
whack fol the daddy o
there`s whisky in the jar

it was early in morning before i rose to travel
up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain farrell
i first produced me pistol for she`d stolen away my rapier
but i couldn`t shoot the water so a prisoner i was taken

mu sha ring du dum du dam da
whack fol the daddy o
whack fol the daddy o
there`s whisky in the jar

now there`s some take delight in the carriages and rolling
and others take delight in the hurley and the bolling
but i take delight in the juice of the barley
courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early

mu sha ring du dum du dam da
whack fol the daddy o
whack fol the daddy o
there`s whisky in the jar

if anyone can aid me to see me brother in the army
if i can find a station in cork or in killerney
and if hell go with me well go roaming in kilkenny
and im sure hell treat me better than me old me sporting jenny

mu sha ring du dum du dam da
whack fol the daddy o
whack fol the daddy o
there`s whisky in the jar
