[Verse]
G Em As I was going over the far fam'd Kerry Mountains, C G D I met with Captain Farrel, and his money he was countin', G Em I first produced my pistol, and I than produced my rapier, C G Sayin': "Stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver".
[Chorus]
D Musha ring dum a doo dum a da, G Whack for the daddy ol', C Whack for the daddy ol', G D G There's whiskey in the jar.
[Verse]
G Em I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny, C G D I put it in my pocket, and I took it home to Jenny, G Em She sighed, and she swore that she never would deceive me, C G But the devil take the women for they never can be easy.
[Chorus]
D Musha ring dum a doo dum a da, G Whack for the daddy ol', C Whack for the daddy ol', G D G There's whiskey in the jar.
[Verse]
G Em I went into my chamber all for to take a slumber, C G D I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder, G Em But Jenny drew my charges and she filled them out with water, C G Then sent for Captain Farrel, to be ready for the slaughter.
[Chorus]
D Musha ring dum a doo dum a da, G Whack for the daddy ol', C Whack for the daddy ol', G D G There's whiskey in the jar.
[Verse]
G Em 'Twas early in the morning just before I rose to travel, C G D Up comes a band of footmen and likewise, Captain Farrel, G Em I first produced my pistol for she stole away my rapier, C G But I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken.
[Chorus]
D Musha ring dum a doo dum a da, G Whack for the daddy ol', C Whack for the daddy ol', G D G There's whiskey in the jar.
[Verse]
G Em If anyone can aid me 'tis my brother in the army, C G D If I can find his station, in Cork or in Killarney, G Em And if he'll go with me we'll go roving in Kilkenny, C G And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my old a-sporting Jenny.
[Chorus]
D Musha ring dum a doo dum a da, G Whack for the daddy ol', C Whack for the daddy ol', G D G There's whiskey in the jar.
