Firkin - Whiskey in the jar lyrics

As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier Saying "stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver” Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me But the devil takes the women for they never can be easy I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber I dreamt of gold and j**els and for sure 't was no wonder But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter It was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell I first produced me pistol for she's stolen away me rapier But I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken If anyone can aid me 'tis my brother in the army If I can find a station in Cork or in k**arney And if he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' through k**kenny And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny
