Lyrics
-------------------
As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier
Saying "Stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver
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
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 women for they never can be easy
(Chorus)
I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't 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
(Chorus)
't was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell
I first produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier
I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken
(Chorus)
Now there's some take delight in the carriages a rolling
and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling
but I take delight in the juice of the barley
and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
(Chorus)
If anyone can aid me 't is my brother in the army
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' through Killkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny
(Chorus)

My grandfather passed away this past Friday (January 7th), and I intend to play this song at his memorial. Thank you for this video tutorial. It's helping me a great deal.
"Her's my story it's sad but true
about a girl that I once knew
she broke my heart and stole my car
and started singing whiskey in the jar ".........
(wop wop...wop shawaddy waddy...........)...whatddya think Van ?????
Thank you so much for these videos. I’m an American solo performer. I play these songs live and I appreciate hearing your traditional way of playing. This helps me perform these songs closer to the way they were meant to be played.
So sorry to hear that my friend...you might care to look somewhere else then.
Only 33 flynners!
This is way better than metallica. Thanks!!!!!
It is a LOWDEN...they are made in the north of Ireland...........really good guitars with a great warm full sound. Maybe you could get one for Christmas ???
Oh wow.........thank you very much but perhaps we should say "different" ???
Mmm feel like a beer now
So all down strokes
It's very pleasant to learn from and play with this nice gay.
Best lesson on this by far, no nonsense or overplaying. Thank you.
Thank you for spreading the beautiful Irish music to the world.
Accurate lyrics, tabs, style tips, etc. are invaluable for beginning musicians.

I'm in my 30s & not into folk at all, this song seems to have traversed as many genre as it has years, thats how I'm here. I'm pleasantly surprised at this unsespected turrn, I find it completely interesting seeing tuition from another angle, you come over as a great teacher, likable, freindly and knowledgable. Great video my friend and I'll try to learn some of your teaching's in honour.
Wow ! I'm not sure if I deserve such wonderful praise ! I am absolutely delighted that someone quite young and from a totally different background musicially would appreciate this..............makes it all worth while. I really appreciate you taking the time to send post this message.......makes me want to go out and teach live !!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Brian. I hope to get good enough to play along with people - another great vid.
