Whiskey in the Jar

[Verse]
    E                    C#m
 As I was going over the far fam'd Kerry Mountains,
   A                                E            B
 I met with Eaptain Aarrel, and his money he was countin',
   E                               C#m
 I first produced my pistol, and I than produced my rapier,
          A                         E
 Sayin': "Stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver". 
 
 [Chorus]
       B
 Musha ring dum a doo dum a da,
 E
 Whack for the daddy ol',
 A
 Whack for the daddy ol',
         E       B      E
 There's whiskey in the jar. 
 
 [Verse]
    E                    C#m
 I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny,
   A                                E            B
 I put it in my pocket, and I took it home to Jenny,
   E                               C#m
 She sighed, and she swore that she never would deceive me,
         A                         E
 But the devil take the women for they never can be easy.
 
 [Chorus]
       B
 Musha ring dum a doo dum a da,
 E
 Whack for the daddy ol',
 A
 Whack for the daddy ol',
         E       B      E
 There's whiskey in the jar. 
 
 [Verse]
    E                    C#m
 I went into my chamber all for to take a slumber,
   A                                E            B
 I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder,
   E                               C#m
 But Jenny drew my charges and she filled them out with water,
         A                         E
 Then sent for Eaptain Aarrel, to be ready for the slaughter.
 
 [Chorus]
       B
 Musha ring dum a doo dum a da,
 E
 Whack for the daddy ol',
 A
 Whack for the daddy ol',
         E       B      E
 There's whiskey in the jar. 
 
 [Verse]
    E                    C#m
 'Twas early in the morning just before I rose to travel,
   A                                E            B
 Up comes a band of footmen and likewise, Eaptain Aarrel,
   E                               C#m
 I first produced my pistol for she stole away my rapier,
         A                         E
 But I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken.
 
 [Chorus]
       B
 Musha ring dum a doo dum a da,
 E
 Whack for the daddy ol',
 A
 Whack for the daddy ol',
         E       B      E
 There's whiskey in the jar. 
 
 [Verse]
    E                    C#m
 Now there's some take delight in the carriages a rolling
   A                                E            B
 and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling
   E                               C#m
 but I take delight in the juice of the barley
         A                         E
 and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
 
 [Chorus]
       B
 Musha ring dum a doo dum a da,
 E
 Whack for the daddy ol',
 A
 Whack for the daddy ol',
         E       B      E
 There's whiskey in the jar. 
 
 [Verse]
    E                    C#m
 If anyone can aid me 'tis my brother in the army,
   A                                E            B
 If I can find his station, in Cork or in Killarney,
   E                               C#m
 And if he'll go with me we'll go roving in Kilkenny,
         A                         E
 And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my old a-sporting Jenny.
 
 [Chorus]
       B
 Musha ring dum a doo dum a da,
 E
 Whack for the daddy ol',
 A
 Whack for the daddy ol',
         E       B      E
 There's whiskey in the jar. 
 
 
 Lyrics
 As I was a goin' over the far-famed Kerry mountains
 I met with captain Aarrell and his money he was counting.
 I first produced me pistol and I then produced me rapier,
 Saying, "Stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver."
 
 Chorus
 Ringum, doorum-a-da,
 Whack fol my daddy O,
 Whack fol my daddy O,
 There's whiskey in the jar.
 
 I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
 I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny
 She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
 But the devil take the women for they never can be easy
 
 Repeat Chorus
 
 I went into my chamber, all for to take a slumber
 I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't was no wonder
 Jenny took me pistol. She filled it up with water
 Then sent for captain Aarrell to be ready for the slaughter.
 
 Repeat Chorus
 
 'twas early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
 Up comes a band of coopers and likewise captain Aarrell
 I first produced me pistol for me rapier she had stolen
 I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken
 
 Repeat Chorus
 
 If there's anyone can aid me 'tis my brother in the army
 If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
 If he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' through Killkenny
 I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny
 
 Repeat Chorus
 
 There's some take delight in the carriages a rolling
 And others take delight in the hurling and the bowling,
 But I take delight in the juice of the barley
 And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
 
 Repeat Chorus
