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 he were 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 take 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 jewels and for sure 't was no wonder
But Jenny blew me charges and she filled them up with water
Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter
't 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 stole away me rapier
I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken
Now there's some take delight in the carriages a rolling
and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling
but I take delight in the juice of the barley
and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
If anyone can aid me 't is my brother in the army
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' through Killkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny

Whiskey In The Jar Songtext Übersetzung:
Als ich über die Cork & Kerry Berge ging
Sah ich Captain Farrell und sein Geld, das er zählte
Ich zog erst meine Pistole, dann zog ich mein Rapier
Ich sagte:Liefer es fast out of or the Devil should you
I took all his money and it was a nice bunch
I took all his money and brought it home to Molly
She swore that she loved me, no, she would never leave me< br/>But let the devil take her, because she tricked me so easily
Musharain dumadodumada
Spanking for my daddy - o
Spanking for my daddy - o
It's whiskey in the mug
Drunk and exhausted, I went into Molly's room
Took Molly with me, but I didn't realize the danger
At about six or seven Captain Farrel came in
/>I jumped up and fired my pistols and shot him with both barrels, yeah
Musharain dumadodumada
Beating for my daddy - o
Beating for my daddy - o
There's whiskey in the mug
Well, some like to fish, some like to tow some
And some like to listen, like to hear the cannonballs thundering
But me, I like to sleep, especially in Molly's room
But here I am in prison, here I have a chain and a ball, yeah
Musharain dumadodumada
Beating for my daddy - o
Beating for my daddy - o
It's whiskey in the mug
Musharain dumadodumada, yeah
Musharain dumadodumada, yeah
Musharain dumadodumada, yeah
