dervish - there's whiskey in the jar lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
as i was a-goin’ over gilgarra mountains
i met colonel pepper and his money he was counting
i drew forth my pistol and i rattled my sabre
saying “stand and deliver, for i am a bold deceiver”

[chorus]
mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
whack for my daddy-o
whack for my daddy-o
there’s whiskey in the jar

[verse 2]
the shining yellow coins did sure look bright and jolly
i took the money home and i gave it to my molly
she promised and she vowed that she never would deceive me
but the devil’s in the women for they never can be easy

[chorus]
mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
whack for my daddy-o
whack for my daddy-o
there’s whiskey in the jar

[verse 3]
when i awoke between the hours of six and seven
guards were standing ’round me in numbers odd and even
i flew to my pistols, but alas i was mistaken
i fired off my pistols and a prisoner was taken

[chorus]
mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
whack for my daddy-o
whack for my daddy-o
there’s whiskey in the jar

[verse 4]
they put me in jail without a judge or jury
for robbing colonel pepper in the morning so early
they didn’t take my fist so i knocked down the sentry
and i bid a long farewell to that cold penitentiary

[chorus]
mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
whack for my daddy-o
whack for my daddy-o
there’s whiskey in the jar

[verse 5]
some take delight in fishing and bowling
others take delight in carriage a-rollin’
i take delight in the juice of the barley
courting pretty women in the morning so early

[chorus]
mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
whack for my daddy-o
whack for my daddy-o
there’s whiskey in the jar
