I met with Captain Farrell
and his money he was counting
First you choose the pistol
Stand and deliver for you
Mush -a -ring -a -ma -doo -da -ma -da
There's whisky in the jar
And it made a pretty penny
And I brought it home to Jenny
That she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women
For they never can be easy
Mush -a -ring -a -ma -doo -da -ma -da
there's whisky in the jar
a father gave us a lumber
I dreamt of golden jewels,
I ensured it was no wonder
and she filled a mat with water
to be ready for his latter
Masha ring -a -ma -doo -da -ma -da
there's whisky in the jar
T 'was early in the mornin'
just before I rose to travel
Up came a band of footmen
and likewise Captain Farrell
I first produced me pistol,
for she stole away my rake
But I couldn't shoot the water,
so a prisoner I was takin'
Masha ring -a -ba -dee -da -ba -da
There's whiskey in the jar
And if anyone can aid me,
just my brother in the army
If I can find a station in Cork
we'll go roaming in Kilkenny
I'm sure he'll treat me better
than the only sporting jenny
Mush a rink, a -ma do, a -ma da
There's whisky in the jar
in the carriages a -rollin'
Others take the light in the hurlin'
Me I take the light in the juice of the barley
And caught in pretty far right in
the mornin' right at earlin'
Masha ring -a -ma -dee -da -ma -da
There's whiskey in the jar
Masha ring -a -ma -dee -da -ma -da
There's whiskey in the jar
