D Bm
As I was going over the Kilmagenny mountain
G D A
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting.
D Bm
I first produced my pistol, and the produced my rapier.
G D Bm
Said stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver,
A
musha ring dumma do damma da
D
whack for the daddy 'ol
G
whack for the daddy 'ol
D A D
there's whiskey in the jar
D Bm
I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny.
G D A
I put it in my pocket and I brought it home to Jenny.
D Bm
She said and she swore, that she never would deceive me,
G D Bm
but the devil take the women, for they never can be easy
A
musha ring dumma do damma da
D
whack for the daddy 'ol
G
whack for the daddy 'ol
D A D
there's whiskey in the jar
D Bm
I went into my chamber, for to take a slumber,
G D A
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder.
D Bm
But Jenny took my charges and she filled them up with water,
G D Bm
and send for captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter.

D Bm
It was early in the morning, before I rose to travel,
G D A
the guards were all around me and likewise captain Farrel.
D Bm
I first produced my pistol, for she stole away my rapier,
G D Bm
but I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken.

D A D

D Bm
If anyone can aid me, it's my brother in the army,
G D A
if I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney.
D Bm
And if he'll come and save me, we'll go roving near Kilkenny,
G D Bm
and I swear he'll treat me better than me darling sportling Jenny
A
musha ring dumma do damma da
D
whack for the daddy 'ol
G

D A D
there's whiskey in the jar
D Bm
Now some men take delight in the drinking and the roving,
G D A
but others take delight in the gambling and the smoking.
D Bm
But I take delight in the juice of the barley,
G D Bm
and courting pretty Jenny in the morning bright and early
A
musha ring dumma do damma da
D
whack for the daddy 'ol
G
whack for the daddy 'ol
D A D
there's whiskey in the jar !
