Highland Saga - Another Whisky In The Jar lyrics

Artist: Highland Saga

album: Scotland My Love!


As I was going over
The far famed Kerry Mountains
I met with captain Farrell
And his money he was counting
I first produced me pistol
And I then produced me rapier
Saying stand and deliver
For you are a bold deceiver
Musha ring dumma do dumma da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de 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
Musha ring dumma do dumma da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
I went up to my chamber
All for to take a slumber
I dreamt of golden jewel
And for sure it was no wonder
But Jenny drew me charges
And she filled them up with water
Then sent for captain Farrell
To be ready for the slaughter
Musha ring dumma do dumma da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
It 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'd stolen away me rapier
But I couldn't shoot the water
So a prisoner I was taken
Musha ring dumma do dumma da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Now there's some take delight
In the carriages a-rollin'
And others take delight
In the hurley and the bowlin'
But I take delight
In the juice of the barley
And courtin' pretty fair maids
In the morning bright and early
Musha ring dumma do dumma da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
If anyone can aid me
'Tis my brother in the army
If I can find a station
In Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll go with me
We'll go roaming in Kilkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better
Than me only sporting Jenny
Musha ring dumma do dumma da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Musha ring dumma do dumma da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
