The Dubliners - Whisky In The Jar текст песни

As I was going over the far Killmagenny Mountain
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced me pistol and then produced me ravior
Saying: Stand and deliver for I am the bold deceiver

Chorus:
Muscha ring dumma doo dumma daa
Wack fol the daddy-oh
Wack fol the daddy-oh
Theres whisky in the jar

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

Chorus

I went into me chamber all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder
But Jenny drew me charges and filled them up with water
And sent for Captain Farrell to ready for the slaughter

Chorus

Twas early in the morning just before I rose to travel
Up comes a band of footman and likewise Captain Farrell
I first produced me pistol for she stolen away me ravior
But I couldnt shoot with water so a prisoner a was taken

Chorus

If anyone can help its me brother in the army
If I could find his station in Cork or in Killarney
And if hed come with me well go roving in Killkenny
And Im sure he treat me better than me darlin sporting Jenny

Chorus
