Whiskey in the Jar Lyrics[Verse 1]
As I was goin' over Kilgarra Mountain
I met with Captain Farrell, and his money he was countin'
First I drew my pistol, and I rattled forth my saber
"Stand and deliver for I am your bold receiver"

[Chorus]
Musha ringum durnda
Whack fol the daddy-o
Whack fol the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
[Verse 2]
He counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny
I took the money home, and I gave it to my Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the Dеvil's in the women, and they nеver will be easy

[Chorus]
Musha ringum durnda
Whack fol the daddy-o
Whack fol the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

[Verse 3]
Early in the mornin', 'tween the hours of six and seven
The guards were standin' 'round me, and numbers are uneven
I flew to my pistols but alas, I was mistaken
For Jenny wet the powder, and a prisoner I was taken

[Chorus]
Musha ringum durnda
Whack fol the daddy-o
Whack fol the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

[Verse 4]
I think I'll find my brother, the one that's in the army
I don't know where he's stationed, is it Cork or in Killarney?
Together we'll go roamin' in the mountains of Kilkenny
And I dare he'll treat me fairer than my darlin', sportin' Jenny
[Chorus]
Musha ringum durnda
Whack fol the daddy-o
Whack fol the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

[Verse 5]
Some take delight in fishin' and a-bowlin'
Others take delight in the carriage rollin'
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
A-courtin' pretty girls in the mornin' so early

[Chorus]
Musha ringum durnda
Whack fol the daddy-o (Whack)
Whack fol the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

[Chorus]
Musha ringum durnda (Durnda)
Whack fol the daddy-o (Durnda)
Whack fol the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar (Let's sing it one more time)

[Chorus]
Musha ringum durnda (Durnda)
Whack fol the daddy-o (Durnda, durnda)
Whack fol the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
