Nolwenn Leroy - Whiskey In The Jar Lyrics
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was countingI first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapierSaid "Stand and deliver" for i am a bold deceiverMush-a ring dum-a do dum-a daWhack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-oThere's whiskey in the jars:I counted out his money and it made a pretty pennyI put it in my pocket and I took it home to JohnnyHe said and he swore that he never would deceive meBut the devil take the men for they never can be easyMush-a ring dum-a do dum-a daWhack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-oThere's whiskey in the jarI went into my chamber, all for to take a slumberI dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonderBut Johnny took my chargesand he filled them up with waterThen sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughterMush-a ring dum-a do dum-a daWhack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-oThere's whiskey in the jarIt was early in the morning, just before I rose for travelThe guards were all around me and likewise captain FarrellI first produced my pistol for he stole away my rapierBut I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was takenMush-a ring dum-a do dum-a daWhack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-oThere's whiskey in the jarIf anyone can aid me it's my brother in the armyIf I can find his station in Cork or in KillarneyAnd if he'll come and save me, we'll go rovin' near KillkennyAnd i swear he'll treat me better thanme darling sportling JohnnyMush-a ring dum-a do dum-a daWhack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-oThere's whiskey in the jarNow some men take delight in the drinking and the rovingBut others take delight in the gambling and the smokingBut I take delight in the juice of the barleyAnd courting handsome loversin the morning bright and earlyMush-a ring dum-a do dum-a daWhack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-oThere's whiskey in the jar
