whiskey in the jar, by irish accordion player Dermot O'Brien

Well now as I was a goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced me pistol, then produced me rapier
Singing "Stand and deliver now" you where the bold deceiver
Chorus:
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for the daddy-o. Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
I counted out his money, it made a pretty penny
I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny
She smiled and she swore, she never would betray me
the devil take the women and they never took me easy
(Chorus)
Now I went up to me chambers, all for to take a slumber
dreamt of gold and jewels, sure it was no wonder
Jenny drew me charges, filled them up with water
sent for captain Farrell to get ready for the slaughter
(Chorus)
Well it was early the next morning, before I rose to travel
Up comes a band of footmen, likewise captain Farrell
I then produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier
It wouldn't shoot the water, and a prisoner I was taken
(Chorus)
Well now if anyone can aid me, it's my brother in the army
If I can learn his station in Cork or in Killarney
if he'll come and join me, we'll go rovin' through Killkenny
Then he'll treat me fairer than my tart a'sporting Jenny
(Chorus)
