As I was going over
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
were my boldest saviour.
I'll push a ring door to my daddy
But for the daddy -o,
but for the daddy -o
There's whisky in the jar
He counted out his money
and it made a pretty penny
I put it in my pocket
and I took it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore
that she nev er would betray me
But the devil take the women,
for they never can be a
-seamushering,
or to do that.
But for the daddy -o,
but for the daddy -o,
there's whisky in the jar.
I went unto me chamber,
for to have a slumber.
I dreamt of golden jewels,
and sure it was no wonder.
But Jenny threw me chargers
and filled them up with water
Sent for Captain Farrell
to be ready for the slaughter
Shur -ing dum -a -doo dum -a -dah
Back for the daddy -o,
back for the daddy -o
There's whisky in the jar
And if anyone can aid me,
tis my brother in the army
If I could learn his station
in improper inculerny
And if you'd come and join me,
we'd go rovin' in Hill Kenny
And en gage you'd treat me
fairer than me,
darlin' sportin' penny
We shall ring -a -do -da -da
Quack for the daddy -o,
quack for the daddy -o
There's whisky in the jar
