Whiskey In The Jar (Live at Helping Hands Concert 2022)

[Verse 1]

As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains

I saw Captain Farrell, and his money he was countin’

I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier

I said, “Stand and deliver, or the devil, he may take you,” yeah

I took all of his money, and it was a pretty penny

I took all of his money, yeah, and I brought it home to Molly

She swore that she loved me, no, never would she leave me

But the devil take that woman, yeah, for you know she tricked me easy

[Chorus]

Musha ring dum a doo dum a da

Whack for my daddy-o

Whack for my daddy-o

Thеre's whiskey in the jar-o

[Verse 2]

Bеin' drunk and weary, I went to Molly’s chamber

Takin' money with me, but I never knew the danger

For about six or maybe seven, yeah, in walked Captain Farrell

I jumped up, fired off my pistols, and I shot him with both barrels, yeah

[Chorus]

Musha ring dum a doo dum a da

Whack for my daddy-o

Whack for my daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar-o

Yeah-heh, whiskey in the jar-o

[Guitar solo]

Ohh yeah yeah, whoa-yo

Yeah, oh yeah

[Verse 3]

Now some men like the fishin', and some men like the fowlin'

And some men like to hear, to hear the cannonball a-roarin'

Me? I like sleepin', especially in Molly's chamber

But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah

[Chorus]

Musha ring dum a doo dum a da, yeah, yeah

Whack for my daddy-o

Whack for my daddy-o

There’s whiskey in the jar-o, yeah

Whiskey in the jar-o, yeah

[Outro]

Musha ring dum a doo dum a da

Musha ring dum a doo dum a da

Hey, musha ring dum a doo dum a da

Musha ring dum a doo dum a da, yeah
