Tom: C
C Am
As I was going over the Cork & Kerry mountain
F C G
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting.
C Am
I first produced my pistol, and the produced my rapier.
F C G
Said stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver,
[Chorus]
F
musha ring dumma do damma da
C
whack for the daddy 'ol
F
whack for the daddy 'ol
C G C
there's whiskey in the jar
[Verse 2]
C Am
I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny.
F C G
I put it in my pocket and I brought it home to Jenny.
C Am
She said and she swore, that she never would deceive me,
F C G
but the devil take the women, for they never can be easy
[Chorus]
F
musha ring dumma do damma da
C
whack for the daddy 'ol
F
whack for the daddy 'ol
C G C
there's whiskey in the jar
[Verse 3]
C Am
I went into my chamber, for to take a slumber,
F C G
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder.
C Am
But Jenny took my charges and she filled them up with water,
F C G
and send for captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter.
[Chorus]
F
musha ring dumma do damma da
C
whack for the daddy 'ol
F
whack for the daddy 'ol
C G C
there's whiskey in the jar
[Verse 4]
C Am
It was early in the morning, before I rose to travel,
F C G
the guards were all around me and likewise captain Farrel.
C Am
I first produced my pistol, for she stole away my rapier,
F C G
but I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken.
[Chorus]
F
musha ring dumma do damma da
C
whack for the daddy 'ol
F
whack for the daddy 'ol
C G C
there's whiskey in the jar
[Verse 5]
C Am
If anyone can aid me, it's my brother in the army,
F C G
if I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney.
C Am
And if he'll come and save me, we'll go roving near Kilkenny,
F C G
and I swear he'll treat me better than me darling sportling Jenny
[Chorus]
F
musha ring dumma do damma da
C
whack for the daddy 'ol
F
whack for the daddy 'ol
C G C
there's whiskey in the jar
[Verse 6]
C Am
Now some men take delight in the drinking and the roving,
F C G
but others take delight in the gambling and the smoking.
C Am
But I take delight in the juice of the barley,
F C G
and courting pretty Jenny in the morning bright and early
[Chorus]
F
musha ring dumma do damma da
C
whack for the daddy 'ol
F
whack for the daddy 'ol
C G C
there's whiskey in the jar
