Had Siron over Gilcany Mountain
and his money he was countin'
Saint stand and deliver for
We're sure a -gum -di -gum -di
There's whiskey in the jar
Well, I counted my money,
and I carried it home to Molly
that she nev er would deceive me
But the devils and the women,
boy, they never can be easy
She was sure a -gum -de -gum -di
Pah -fah -mah -dah -dee -oh
Pah -fah -mah -dah -dee -oh
There's whiskey in the jar
Well, I went to Molly's chamber
I laid my head upon the bed
I had not been lying there before
And the press gang overtook me
There's whiskey in the jar
and a prisoner I was a -takin'
She discharged my pistols,
and she filled them with water
And a prisoner I was takin' like a
Whistler -a -gum -di -gum -di
There's whiskey in the jar
Well, I have two brothers
They both live in the army
and the other in Killarney
And if I had them here tonight,
I wouldn't be brisk and jolly
I'd rather have them here tonight
We're sure a -yum -dee -yum -dye
There's whiskey in the jar
he is a brisk young 'un soldier
all over his left shoulder
And on the field of battle,
by my soul, he's never undaunted
For he'll fight like the devil
or some fairy that is haunted
We're stirring um -de -gum -dye
There's whiskey in the jar
But pour it out, get a whiskey stout for you,
We're sure to gum -di -gum -di
There's whiskey in the jar
There's whiskey in the jar you
