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
Chorus:
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 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
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
`t 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
(Chorus)
Now there`s some take delight in the carriages a rolling
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
(Chorus)
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
