Whisky in the Jar

歌詞

As I went a walking on Kilgary Mountain I spied Colonel Pepper and his money he was countin' I rattled out my pistols and I drew forth my saber Cryin' Stand and deliver for I am a bold deceiver Musha rain dum a doo dum a da Whack for my daddy o Whack for my daddy o There's whiskey in the jar The gold and silver coins they looked so bright and shiny Oh I took them home straightway and I gave 'em to my Molly She vowed and she promised that she never would deceive me But the devil's in the women oh you never can believe 'em Musha rain dum a doo dum a da Whack for my daddy o Whack for my daddy o There's whiskey in the jar But when I awoke between six and seven The guards were all around me in numbers odd and even I reached for my pistols but alas I was mistaken My pistols had been fired and a prisoner I was taken Musha rain dum a doo dum a da Whack for my daddy o Whack for my daddy o There's whiskey in the jar They put me in the jail without judge or writin' For robbing Colonel Pepper oh on Kilgary Mountain But they didn't take my fists so I knocked the sentry down And bade farewell to the jail in Sligo town Musha rain dum a doo dum a da Whack for my daddy o Whack for my daddy o There's whiskey in the jar Some people take delight in fishin' and in bowlin' Oh others take delight in the carriages a rollin' But I take delight in the juice of the barley And courtin' pretty girls 'til the morning so early Musha rain dum a doo dum a da Whack for my daddy o Whack for my daddy o There's whiskey in the jar Musha rain dum a doo dum a da Whack for my daddy o Whack for my daddy o There's whiskey in the jar
