Johnny Logan - Whiskey in the jar lyrics

As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting I first produced my pistol, and then produced my rapier Saying "stand and deliver", for he were a bold deceiver With your ring dum-a do dam-a da Whack for the daddy'o Whack for the daddy'o There's whiskey in the jar I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny She swore, that she loved me, never would she leave me But the devil take the women, for she know she tricked me easy With your ring dum-a do dam-a da Whack for the daddy'o Whack for the daddy'o There's whiskey in the jar It was early in the morning, before I rose up for travel Up came a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell I first produced my pistol, for she stole away my rapier But I couldn't shoot the captain, so a prisoner I was taken With your ring dum-a do dam-a da Whack for the daddy'o Whack for the daddy'o There's whiskey in the jar Now some men they like drinking And some men they like fighting Some men like to hear the sound of a cannon ball a rollin' Me, I like sleeping Specially in my Jenny's Chamber's But here I am in prison Here I am with a ball and chain here With your ring dum-a do dam-a da Whack for the daddy'o Whack for the daddy'o There's whiskey in the jar With your ring dum-a do dam-a da Whack for the daddy'o Whack for the daddy'o There's whiskey in the jar As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting I first produced my pistol, and then produced my rapier Saying "stand and deliver", for he were a bold deceiver
