As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and the produced my rapier
Saying stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver
With me ring dum a doo...
Whack fo the daddy-o......there's whiskey in the jar.

He counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in my pocket and I gave it to my Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she nover would deceive
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy
With me ring dum a doo...
Whack fo the daddy-o......there's whiskey in the jar.

I went unto my chamber all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold an jewels and sure it was no wonder
But Jenny drew my charges and she filled them up with water
And she sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter
With me ring dum a doo...
Whack fo the daddy-o......there's whiskey in the jar.

And t'was early in the morning before I rose to travel
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrell
I then produced my pistol for she stole away my rapier
But I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken
With me ring dum a doo...
Whack fo the daddy-o......there's whiskey in the jar.

And if anyone can aid me 'tis my brother in the army
If I could learn his station in Cork or in Killarney
And if he'd come and join me we'd go roving in Kilkenny
I'll engage he'd treat me fairer than my darling sporting Jenny
With me ring dum a doo...
Whack fo the daddy-o......there's whiskey in the jar.
