Whiskey in the Jar (The Irish Rovers, 50 Years 2014)

Текст песни The Irish Rovers - Whiskey in the Jar (The Irish Rovers, 50 Years 2014)

As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol, and I then produced my rapier
Said stand and deliver, for you are a bold deceiver
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore, that she never would betray me
But the devil take the women, for they never can be easy
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
I went into my chamber, all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder
But Jenny took my charges and she filled them up with water
Then sent for captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
It was early in the morning, just before I rose for travel
Come on a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrel
I first produced me pistol, for she stole away me rapier
But I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
Now some take delight in the carriages a rolling
But others take delight in the harley and the bowling
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
If anyone can aid me, it's me brother in the army
If I can find his station down in Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll go with me, we'll go roving in Kilkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than me sporting Jenny
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
