A great Irish song with lyrics anc chords)
Whiskey In The Jar
C Am
As I was going over the famed Kerry Mountains
F C
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
C Am
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
F C
Saying "Stand and deliver! For I am the bold deceiver!"
G
Mursha-ring-a-ma-doo-a-ma-dah
C F
Whack fol the daddy - o, whack fo the daddy - o
C G C
There's whiskey in the jar.
C Am
He counted out his money and it paid a pretty penny
F C
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Molly
C Am
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me but the
F C
Devil take the women for you never can be easy CHORUS
C Am
I went into my chamber for to take a slumber
F C
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder
C Am
But Molly took my bullets and she filled them up with water
F C
And sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter. CHORUS
C Am
'Twas early in the morning before I rose to travel
F C
Up come a band of foot men and then likewise Captain Farrell
C Am
I first produced my pistol for she stole away my rapier
F C
But I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken. CHORUS
C Am
If anyone can aid me it's my brother in the army
F C
If I could learn his station in Cork or in Killarney
C Am
And if he'd come and join me we'd go rovin' in Kilkenny
F C
I'll engage he'd treat me fairer than my darlin' sportin' Molly CHORUS
