Rapalje Lyrics
"Whiskey In The Jar"

As I was going over from Cork to Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol, and then took out my rapier
Said "stand and deliver, for the devil he may take you"

Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

I counted out his money, it made a pretty penny
I put it in my sporran and I brought it home to Jenny
She signed me and she swore me, that she never would betray me
But the devil take that women, for you know she can't be easy

Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

I went down to my chamber, announced to take a slumber
I dreamed of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder
But Jenny took my charges and filled them up with water
Then sent for captain Farrel to be ready for a slaughter

Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

It was early in the morning before I rose to travel
Up came a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrel
But Jenny took my pistols and stole away my rapier
I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken

Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Now as anyone can aid me it's my brother in the army
I'd like to find his station between here and in Killarny
And if I'm gonna roving to the city of Kilkenny
I swear I'll take my dagger and I'll drive it deep in Jenny

Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
