Whiskey In The Jar Lyrics

Whiskey In The Jar lyrics

As I was goin' over the Cottondale mountains

I saw Captain Farrell and his
money he was countin'

I first produced my pistol and then produced my
rapier

”So stand up and deliver or the devil he may take ya”



Mush-a-ree dum a doo dum a di

Whack for my daddy-o

Whack for my
daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar



I took all of his money,
it was a pretty penny

I took all of his money and brought it home to
Molly

She swore that she'd love me, never would she leave me

But
the devil take this woman for you know she conned me easy



Mush-a-ree dum a doo dum a di

Whack for my daddy-o

Whack for my
daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar



Being drunk and weary I
went to Molly's chamber

I took my money with me, I didn't know the
danger

For about six or maybe seven in walks Captain Farrell

I
jumped up with my pistol and I shot him with both barrels



Now some
men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'

And some men like ta
hear a cannon ball a roarin'

Me I like sleepin' specially in my molly's
chamber

Here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah 



Mush-a-ree dum a doo dum a di

Whack for my daddy-o

Whack
for my daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar



Mush-a-ree dum a
doo dum a di

Whack for my daddy-o

Whack for my daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar



Mush-a-ree dum a doo dum a di

Whack for my daddy-o

Whack for my daddy-o

There's whiskey in the
jar
