the far -famed Cary Mountains
I met with Captain Farrell
and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol
and then produced my rape
You said, stand and deliver
for you're a bold deceiver
Mish -a -ring -a -ding -a -dah
There's whiskey in the jar
And it made a pretty penny
And I gave it to me Jenny
That she never would be saved me
But the devil take the women for
Whish -a -ring -a -ding -a -da
There's whiskey in the jar
I dreamt of golden jewels
And sure it was no wonder
That Jenny took me charges
And she filled them up with water
And said for Captain Farrell
To be ready for the slaughter
Whish -a -ring -a -ding -a -da -da
There's whiskey in the jar
It was early in the morning
The guardsmen were all around me
and likewise was Captain Farrell
I first produced my pistol
as he stole away my rapier
Still I couldn't shoot the water,
so a prisoner I was taken
We sure ring -a -ding -a -ding -a -da
There's whiskey in the jar
Oh, shoo -ring -a -ding -a -da -da
There's whiskey in the jar
tis me brother and the army
If I can find a station in Cork
And if he'll come and join me,
we'll go rollin' in Kilkenny
And I bet he'll treat me better
than me darned sportin' janny
Whish -a ring -a -ding -a -di -da
There's whisky in the jar
Wish -a ring -a -ding -a -di -da
There's whisky in the jar
