the Cork and Kerry mountains
I met with Captain Furrow
and his money he was counting
I first produced me pistol,
I then produced me rapier, saying
Stand and deliver for you are
mushering dum -a -doo dum -a -die
There's whisky in the jar
And it made a pretty penny
And I took it home to Jenny
That she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women
There's whisky in the jar
On ford to take a slumber
I dreamt of golden jewels
And for sure it was no wonder
But Jenny drew the charters
and she filled them up with water
And sent for Captain Farrell
to be ready for the slaughter
Ushering dum -a -doo dum -a -die
There's whiskey in the jar
Twice early in the morning
just before I rose to travel
Uproad the men of footmen
and likewise Captain Farrell
I first produced me pistol,
for she stole away me ringer
But I couldn't shoot the water,
so a prisoner I was takin'
Mush her ring, dum -a -doo,
there's whiskey in the jar
it's me brother in the army
I know that he is stationed
down in Corcoran, Killarney
And if he'd come and join me,
we'd go rovin' in Kilkenny
I know he'd treat me better
than the old Miss Sporting Jenny
Mush -a -ring dum -a -doo dum -a -die
There's whisky in the jar
Now there's whiskey in the jar
