   C                    Am
As I was going over the far famʼd Kerry Mountains,
  F                                C            G
I met with Captain Farrel, and his money he was countinʼ,
  C                               Am
I first produced my pistol, and I than produced my rapier,
         F                         C
Sayinʼ: «Stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver»

Chorus:
          G
    Musha ring dum a doo dum a da,
    C
    Whack for the daddy olʼ,
    F
    Whack for the daddy olʼ,
            C       G      C
    Thereʼs whiskey in the jar.

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

Chorus:
          G
    Musha ring dum a doo dum a da,
    C
    Whack for the daddy olʼ,
    F
    Whack for the daddy olʼ,
            C       G      C
    Thereʼs whiskey in the jar.

  C                    Am
I went into my chamber all for to take a slumber,
  F                                 C           G
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder,
  C                               Am
But Jenny drew my charges and she filled them out with water,
        F                        C
Then sent for Captain Farrel, to be ready for the slaughter.

Chorus:
          G
    Musha ring dum a doo dum a da,
    C
    Whack for the daddy olʼ,
    F
    Whack for the daddy olʼ,
            C       G      C
    Thereʼs whiskey in the jar.

   C                    Am
ʼTwas early in the morning just before I rose to travel,
   F                                C            G
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise, Captain Farrel,
  C                                Am
I first produced my pistol for she stole away my rapier,
        F                          C
But I couldnʼt shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken.

Chorus:
          G
    Musha ring dum a doo dum a da,
    C
    Whack for the daddy olʼ,
    F
    Whack for the daddy olʼ,
            C       G      C
    Thereʼs whiskey in the jar.

    C                    Am
Now thereʼs some take delight in the carriages a rolling
  F                               C            G
and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling
  C                                Am
but I take delight in the juice of the barley
        F                         C
and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early

Chorus:
          G
    Musha ring dum a doo dum a da,
    C
    Whack for the daddy olʼ,
    F
    Whack for the daddy olʼ,
            C       G      C
    Thereʼs whiskey in the jar.

   C                      Am
If anyone can aid me ʼtis my brother in the army,
  F                                C            G
If I can find his station, in Cork or in Killarney,
  C                              Am
And if heʼll go with me weʼll go roving in Kilkenny,
        F                          C
And Iʼm sure heʼll treat me better than my old a-sporting Jenny.

Chorus:
          G
    Musha ring dum a doo dum a da,
    C
    Whack for the daddy olʼ,
    F
    Whack for the daddy olʼ,
            C       G      C
    Thereʼs whiskey in the jar.
