Cleghorn - Whiskey in the Jar Lyrics

As I was goin' over
The Cork and Kerry Mountains
I spied Captain Farrell
And his money, he was countin'

I first produced my pistol
And rattled my sabre
I said, "Stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya!"

I took all of his money
And it was a pretty penny
I counted it twice
Yeah, and I brought it home to Jenny

She swore that she loved me
No, never would she leave me
But the devil in her heart ya know
Sang and tricked me easy

Musha rein dum a do, dum a dai
Wak fol the daddio
Wak fol the daddio
There's whiskey in the jar oh

Being drunk and weary
I went to Jenny's chamber
Takin' Jenny with me
But I never saw the danger

Six o'clock or seven
In walks Captain Farrell
I jumped and shot my pistols yeah
I got him with both barrels

Musha rein dum a do, dum a dai
Wak fol the daddio
Wak fol the daddio
There's whiskey in the jar oh

Now some men like the fishin'
Some men like the fowlin'
Some men like to hear
The cannonball a'roarin'

Me, I like sleepin'
With Jenny's love surround me
But here I am in prison
With a ball and chain around me

Musha rein dum a do, dum a dai
Wak fol the daddio
Wak fol the daddio
There's whiskey in the jar oh
