As I was going over
the far famed Kerry
Mountains I met with
Captain Farrell and his
money he was counting
I first produced my pistol
and then I drew my rapier
saying stand and deliver
for you are
my bold deceiver
Musha ring
dumma da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
there's some whiskey
in the jar
I robbed Captain Farrell
up on Gilgarry Mountain
I took the gold
to Jenny for to help
me with the countin'
But Jenny
called the guards
Lord I've never
seen so many
I almost lost my
freedom with my
darlin' sportin' Jenny
Musha ring
dumma da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
there's some whiskey
in the jar
I went up to my chamber
all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of golden
jewels and for sure
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
Musha ring
dumma da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
there's some whiskey
in the jar
I left to find me brother
the one who's in the army
if I can find a station
in Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll go with me
we'll go roaming
in Kilkenny
I swear he'll treat me
better than my
only sporting Jenny
Musha ring

Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
there's some whiskey
in the jar
Musha ring
dumma da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
there's some whiskey
in the jar
Now some delight
in fishing and some
delight in bowling
and some take delight
in the carriages a rollin'
But I take delight
in the juice of the barley
And courtin' pretty
girls in the mornin'
bright and early
Musha ring
dumma da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
there's some whiskey
in the jar
Musha ring dumma da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
there's some whiskey
