blackwater boys - whiskey in the jar lyrics
as i was going over kilkerry mountain
i met with captain farrell and his money he was counting
i first produced the pistols, and then produced my rapier
said stand and deliver, for i am a bold deceiver
chorus:
musha ring rumma do ramma 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 promised and she swore that she never would deceive me
but the devil is in the women, for they always can lie easy
chorus
i went into my chamber, for to take a slumber
i dreamt of gold and jewels and sure it was no wonder
but jenny stole the charges and she filled them up with water
and send for captain farrel to be ready for the slaughter
chorus
was early in the morning, between six and seven
the guards were around me and numbers are uneven
i sprang for my pistols, but alas i was mistaken
for jenny took my pistols and the prisoner i was taken
chorus
(solo)
chorus
now if anyone can help me, it’s my brother in the army
if i knew where he was stashin’, it’s in cork or in killarney
and if he’ll come and join me, we’ll go roving in kilkenny
and i know he’ll treat me better than me darling sporting jenny
chorus
now some takes delight in the hurlin’ of the bowlin’
and some takes delight in the carriages a-rollin’
but i take delight in the juice of the barley
and courting pretty girls in the morning bright and early
chorus
