the seekers - whisky in the jar lyrics

Loading...

as i went a-walkin’ on kilgary mountain
i spied colonel pepper, and his money he was countin’;
i rattled out my pistols and i drew forth my saber
cryin’, “stand and deliver, for i am a bold deceiver.”

chorus:
musha rig um du rum da
whack fol the daddy o
whack fol the daddy o
there’s whisky in the jar
the gold and silver coins, they looked so bright and shiny
oh, i took them home straightway, and i gave ’em to my molly;
she vowed and she promised that she never would deceive me
but the devil’s in the women, oh, you never can believe ’em

(chorus)
but when i awoke between six and seven
the guards were all around me in numbers odd and even;
i reached for my pistols, but alas, i was mistaken;
my pistols had been fired, and a prisoner i was taken

(chorus)
they put me in the jail without judge or writin’
for robbing colonel pepper, oh, on kilgary mountain
but they didn’t take my fists, so i knocked the sentry down
and bade farewell to the jail in sligo town

(chorus)
some people take delight in fishin’ and in bowlin’;
oh, others take delight in the carriages a-rollin’;
but i take delight in the juice of the barley
and courtin’ pretty girls ’til the morning so early
