Text File

Whiskey In The Jar G Em As I was goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains, C G D I met with Captain Farrel and his money he was countin' G Em I first produced me pistol and then produced me rapier, C G Sayin' "Stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver" D Musha rig um du rum da G Whack fol the daddy O, C Whack fol the daddy O, G D G There's whiskey in the jar. G Em I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny C G D I put it in me pocket and I took it home to my 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 D Musha rig um du rum da G Whack fol the daddy O, C Whack fol the daddy O, G D G There's whiskey in the jar. G Em I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber C G D I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't was no wonder G Em But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water C G Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter D Musha rig um du rum da G Whack fol the daddy O, C Whack fol the daddy O, G D G There's whiskey in the jar. G Em 't was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel C G D Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell G Em I first produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier C G I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken D Musha rig um du rum da G Whack fol the daddy O, C Whack fol the daddy O, G D G There's whiskey in the jar. G Em Now there's some take delight in the carriages a rolling C G D and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling G Em but I take delight in the juice of the barley C G and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early D Musha rig um du rum da G Whack fol the daddy O, C Whack fol the daddy O, G D G There's whiskey in the jar. G Em If anyone can aid me 't is me 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 rovin' through Killkenny C G And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny D Musha rig um du rum da G Whack fol the daddy O, C Whack fol the daddy O, G D G There's whiskey in the jar.
