the Cork and Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his
I first produced me pistol and I
Saying "Stand and deliver"
for he were a bold deceiver
Mush- a ring dum- a do dum- a da
There's whiskey in the jar
I put it in me pocket and I took
She sighed and she swore,
she nev er would deceive me
But the devil take those women
for they never can be easy
Mush- a ring dum- a do dum- a da
There's whiskey in the jar
all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels
and for sure 't was no wonder
But Jenny blew me charges and
filled them up with water
and sent for captain Farrell to be
Mush- a ring dum- a do dum- a da
There's whiskey in the jar
It was early in the morning,
Up came a band of footmen and
with them captain Farrell
I first produced my pistol for
she'd taken away my rapier
I couldn't shoot the water,
so a prisoner I was taken
Mush- a ring dum- a do dum- a da
There's whiskey in the jar
If anyone can aid me 't is
If I can find his station,
be in Cork or in Killarney
If he'll come and join me,
we'll go rovin' in Killkenny
I'm sure he'll treat me fairer than
Mush- a ring dum- a do dum- a da
There's whiskey in the jar
Some take delight in fishing or bowling
others take delight in the car
but I take delight in the
and the purple pretty barmaids
in the mornin' bright and early
Mush- a ring dum- a do dum- a da
There's whiskey in the jar
Mush- a ring dum- a do dum- a da
There's whiskey in the jar
