G G                    Em Em
As I was goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains,
C C G G D D
I met with Captain Farrel and his money he was countin'
G G Em Em
I first produced me pistol and then produced me rapier,
C C G G
Sayin' "Stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver"

D D
Musha rig um du rum da
G G
Whack fol the daddy O,
C C
Whack fol the daddy O,
G G D D G G
There's whiskey in the jar.

G G Em Em
I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
C C G G D D
I put it in me pocket and I took it home to my Jenny
G G Em Em
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
C C G G
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy

D D
Musha rig um du rum da
G G
Whack fol the daddy O,
C C
Whack fol the daddy O,
G G D D G G
There's whiskey in the jar.

G G Em Em
I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber
C C G G D D
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't was no wonder
G G Em Em
But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water
C C G G
Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter

D D
Musha rig um du rum da
G G
Whack fol the daddy O,
C C
Whack fol the daddy O,
G G D D G G
There's whiskey in the jar.

G G Em Em
't was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
C C G G D D
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell
G G Em Em
I first produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier
C C G G
I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken

D D
Musha rig um du rum da
G G
Whack fol the daddy O,
C C
Whack fol the daddy O,
G G D D G G
There's whiskey in the jar.

G G Em Em
Now there's some take delight in the carriages a rolling
C C G G D D
and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling
G G Em Em
but I take delight in the juice of the barley
C C G G
and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early

D D
Musha rig um du rum da
G G
Whack fol the daddy O,
C C
Whack fol the daddy O,
G G D D G G
There's whiskey in the jar.

G G Em Em
If anyone can aid me 't is me brother in the army
C C G G D D
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
G G Em Em
And if he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' through Killkenny
C C G G
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny

D D
Musha rig um du rum da
G G
Whack fol the daddy O,
C C
Whack fol the daddy O,
G G D D G G
There's whiskey in the jar.
