the Cork and Kerry mountain,
I met with Captain Farrell
and his money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol,
I then produced my rapier,
sang stand and deliver for you
I'll push a ring door to my daddy
There's whisky in the jar
and it made a pretty penny
and I took it home to Jenny
that she nev er would betray me
But the devil take the women,
there's whisky in the jar.
I dreamt of golden jewels,
and sure it was no wonder.
But Jenny threw me chargers
and filled them up with water
to be ready for the slaughter
Shur -ing dum -a -doo dum -a -dah
There's whisky in the jar
And if anyone can aid me,
tis my brother in the army
If I could learn his station
And if you'd come and join me,
we'd go rovin' in Hill Kenny
And en gage you'd treat me
We shall ring -a -do -da -da
There's whisky in the jar
