As I was going over
the Cork and Kerry mountains,
I met with Captain Furrow
and his money he was counting.
I first produced me pistol,
I then produced me rapier,
Since then I'm the liver,
for you aren't bound to savour.
Mush -a -ring dum -a -doo dum -a -dah
Whack -a -fall -a -daddy -o
Whack -a -fall -a -daddy -o
This whiskey in the jar
I counted out his money
It made a pretty penny
I put it in me pocket
I took it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore
She never would deceive me
With a tittle of take those women
Well they never can be easy
Mush -a -ring dum -a -doo dum -a -dah
Whack -a -fall -a -daddy -o
Whack for the Danio,
there's whisky in the jar
I went into my chamber,
all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels,
I'm sure it was no wonder
Then Jenny drew me charges,
and filled them up with water
And sent for Captain Furrow,
to be ready for the slaughter
Whack for the Danio,
whack for the Danio,
there's whisky in the jar
It was early in the morning
before I rose to travel
Up came a band of footmen
and Madame Catherine Farrell
I first produced my pistol
while she'd taken away my rapier
I put a little shield to ward her
so the prisoner I was taking
Mush -a -ring -a -ba -doo -da -ba -da
Like Paul and Danny O
Like Paul and Danny O
There's whiskey in the jar
If anyone can aid me
There's my brother in the army
If I can find a station
Me and Cod are in Killarney
If he'll come and join me
We'll all roll over in Kilkenny
I'm sure he'd trade me fairer
Than my old escortin' Jenny
Mush -a -ring -a -ba -doo -da -ba -da
Like Paul and Danny O
Why call the daddy -o
this whiskey in the jar?
Some take delight in fish
ing or boating
Others take delight
in the college wheels a -rollin'
But I take delight in the juice of the Barney
I burden pity for her mates
in the mornin' bright and airy
Usher in the medulla, madame
Why call the daddy -o
Why call the daddy -o
this whiskey in the jar?
Pusher in the ba -doo -da -ba -dow
Whack for the daddy -o
Whack for the daddy -o
This whiskey in the stout
