[VERSE]
As [C]I was goin' over the [Am]Cork and Kerry mountains
I [F]met with captain Farrell and his [C]money, he was counting
I first produced me pistols and [Am]then produced me rapier
Said, "[F]Stand and deliver!", for he [C]were a bold deceiver
[CHORUS]
Mush-a [G]ring dum-a do dum-a da [C]
Wack fall the daddy-o,[F] wack fall the daddy-o
There's [C]whiskey [G]in the [C]jar [G] [C] [F] [G]
[VERSE]
I [C]took all of his money and it [Am]was a pretty penny
I [F]put it in my pocket and I [C]brought it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she [Am]never would deceive me
But the [F]devil take the women, for they [C]never can be easy
[CHORUS]
Mush-a [G]ring dum-a do dum-a da [C]
Wack fall the daddy-o,[F] wack fall the daddy-o
There's [C]whiskey [G]in the [C]jar [G] [C] [F] [G]
[VERSE]
I [C]went into my chamber, all [Am]for to take a slumber
I [F]dreamt of gold and jewels and for [C]sure it was a wonder
For Jenny drew me charges and she [Am]filled them up with water
Then [F]sent for captain Farrell to be [C]ready for the slaughter
[CHORUS]

[VERSE]
T'was [C]early in the morning, just be[Am]fore I rose to travel
Up [F]came a band of footmen, and [C]likewise captain Farrell
So I first produced me pistol, for she [Am]stole away me rapier
But I [F]couldn't shoot the water, so a [C]prisoner I was taken

[VERSE]
If [C]anyone can aid me, it's me [Am]brother in the army
If [F]I can find his station in [C]Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll go with me, we'd go [Am]rovin' through Killkenney
And I'm [F]sure he'd treat me better than me [C]darlin' sporting Jenny
