the bar -famed Kerry Mountains,
I met with Captain Farrell
and his money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol,
and then produced my rapier,
saying, Stand and deliver,
for you are my bald deceiver,
there's whisky in the jar
and I'd made a pretty penny
and I gave it to my Jenny
She sighed, and then she swore
that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women,
for they never can be easy
There's whisky in the jar.
I dreamt of gold and jewels,
And sure it was no wonder,
For Jenny took my charges,
And filled them up with water,
And sent for Captain Farrell,
To be ready for the slaughter.
Mushroom ring, dum -a -doo,
There's whisky in the jar
T 'was early in the morning
The guards were all around me
And likewise Captain Farrell
I then produced my pistol
For he'd stole away my rapier
But I couldn't shoot the water
So a prisoner I was taken
There's whisky in the jar
it's my brother in the army
I think that he is stationed
And if he'd come and join me,
we'd go rolling in Kilkenny
I swear he'd treat me fairer
than my darling Spartan Jenny
Mushroom ring -a -do -da -da -da
There's whiskey in the jar
Mushroom ring -a -do -da -da -da
There's whiskey in the jar
