Whiskey in the jar

(originaly recorded by Thin Lizzy)



As i was goin´ over the Cork and Kerry mouintains

I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin´

I first produced my pistols ans then produced my rapier

I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya



I took all pf his money and it was a pretty penny

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

She swore that she´d love me, never would she leave me

But devil take that woman for you know she treat me easy



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



Now some men like the fishin´and some man like zhe fowlin´

And some man like ta hear, ta hear cannon ball a roarin´

Me i like sleepin´specially in Molly´s chamber

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



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



Whiskey in the jar-o

Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
