I love playing this song so here we go with the Dubliners version of Whiskey In The Jar...
"Whiskey In The Jar"
As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier
Saying "stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Work for my daddy-o
Work for my nancy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
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 before ya know she tricked me easy
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Work for my daddy-o
Work for my nancy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't 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
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Work for my daddy-o
Work for my nancy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
'Twas 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 stole away me rapier
I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Work for my daddy-o
Work for my nancy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Now there's some take delight in the carriages a-rollin'
And others take delight in the hurling and the bowling
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Work for my daddy-o
Work for my nancy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
If anyone can aid me 't is my brother in the army
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' through Killkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Work for my daddy-o
Work for my nancy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Work for my daddy-o
Work for my nancy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
I was inspired to pick this one up after hearing Luke Kelly of the dubliners sing it .Check out his version here...
