over the Kilmagetty Mountain
I met with Captain Farrell
and his money he was counting
I first produced me pistol
and then I drew me sabre,
say and stand and deliver
With me ring -dum -a -doo -dum -a -da
Whack -a -bowl the daddy -o
Whack -a -bowl the daddy -o
There's whiskey in the jar
And it made a pretty penny
And I gave it to my Jenny
That she never would betray me
But the devil take the women
For they never can be easy
With my ring -dum -a -doo
There's whiskey in the jar
All for to take a slumber
I dreamt of golden jewels
And for sure it is no wonder
But Jenny drew me charges
And she filled them up with water
And she went for Captain Farrell
To be ready for the slaughter
With my ring -dum -a -doo
There's whisky in the jar
It was early in the morning
Up comes a band of footmen
and likewise Captain Farrell
I then produced me pistol,
for she'd stolen away me sabre
But I couldn't shoot the water,
so a prisoner I was taken
With me ring -a -ma -doo -da -la -da
There's whiskey in the jar
it's me brother and the army
If I could learn his station
And if he'd come and join me,
we'd go rovin' in Kilkenny
I'd en gage, he'd treat me fairer
than my darlin' Spartan Jenny
With me, ring -da -ma -doo -da -ma -da
There's whiskey in the jar
With me, ring -da -ma -doo -da -ma -da
There's whiskey in the jar you
