Whiskey In The Jar (Richard Whittaker Mix)

[Verse 1]

As I was goin' over

The Cork and Kerry mountains

I saw Captain Farrell

And his money, he was countin'

[Verse 2]

I first produced my pistol

And then produced my rapier

I said "Stand o'er, deliver

Or the Devil, he may take ya"

[Chorus]

Musha-ring, dumb-a-do, dumb-a-da

Whack for my daddy-o

Whack for my daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar-o

[Verse 3]

I took all of his money

And it was a pretty penny

I took all of his money

And I brought it home to Molly

[Verse 4]

She swore that she'd love me

Never would she leave me

But the Devil take that woman

For you know she tricked mе easy

[Chorus]

Musha-ring, dumb-a-do, dumb-a-da

Whack for my daddy-o

Whack for my daddy-o

There's whiskеy in the jar-o

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]

Bein' drunk and weary

I went to Molly's chamber

Takin' my money with me

And I never knew the danger

[Verse 6]

For about six or maybe seven

In walked Captain Farrell

I jumped up, fired off my pistols

And I shot him with both barrels

[Chorus]

Musha-ring, dumb-a-do, dumb-a-da

Whack for my daddy-o

Whack for my daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar-o

[Verse 7]

Now some men like the fishin'

And some men like the fowlin'

And some men like to hear

A cannon ball a-roarin'

[Verse 8]

But me, I like sleepin'

Especially in my Molly's chamber

But here I am in prison

Here I am with a ball and chain, yeah

[Chorus]

Musha-ring, dumb-a-do, dumb-a-da

Whack for my daddy-o

Whack for my daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar-o

[Outro]

And I got drunk on whiskey-o

And I loved, I loved, I loved

I loved, I loved, I loved my Molly-o

And she wheeled her wheelbarrow

Through that dirty town

That dirty ol' town
