Whiskey In The Jar
by Thin Lizzy
album: Vagabonds of the Western World (1973)
As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya
(Chorus)
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Wait for my daddy-o
Wait for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she'd love me, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy
(chorus)
Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' my Molly with me and I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels
Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'
And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a roarin'
Me I like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah

Metallica is my nicely-loved band yet skinny Lizzy's version of Whiskey interior the Jar is the outstanding.

words and music traditional
As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol, and then produced my rapier.
Said stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver,
musha ring dumma do damma da
whack for the daddy 'ol
whack for the daddy 'ol
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 said and she swore, that she never would deceive me,
but the devil take the women, for they never can be easy
I went into my chamber, all for to take a slumber,
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder.
But Jenny took my charges and she filled them up with water,
Then sent for captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter.
It was early in the morning, as I rose up for travel,
The guards were all around me and likewise captain Farrel.
I first produced my pistol, for she stole away my rapier,
But I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken.
If anyone can aid me, it's my brother in the army,
If I can find his station down in Cork or in Killarney.
And if he'll come and save me, we'll go roving near Kilkenny,
And I swear he'll treat me better than me darling sportling Jenny
Now some men take delight in the drinking and the roving,
But others take delight in the gambling and the smoking.
But I take delight in the juice of the barley,
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early

The original - not the Thin Lizzy version.................
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,
Sayin' 'Stand and deliver, for you me bold receiver,
With me ring fala doodle, dum a da,
Whack fal a daddio, whack fal a daddio,
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 gave it to me Jenny,
She sighed and she swore, that she never would betray me,
Ah, the devil take the women, for they never can be easy,
With me ring fal..................................
I then went to me chamber, all for to take a slumber,
I dreamt of gold and jewels, and sure it was no wonder,
For Jenny took me charges and she filled them up with water,
Then sent for Captain Farrell to make ready for me slaughter,
With me ring fal................................
Next morning bright and early, as I arose to travel,
Up rode a band of horsemen, and likewise Captain Farrell,
I first produced me pistol, for she stole away me rapier,
I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken,
With me ring fal..................................
Now I know who could aid me, 'tis me brother in the army,
If I could find his station, be it Cork or in Killarney,
If he would come and join me, we'd go roaming in Kilkenny,
I'm sure he'd treat me fairer, than me handsome sporting Jenny,
With me ring fal..................................
