As I was going over the Cork and Kerry mountains,
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol, I then produced my rapier, saying,
"Stand and deliver, for you are a bold deceiver!".

Mush-a-ring damma-do damma-da
Whack for my daddy-oh,
Whack for my daddy-oh,
There's whiskey in the jar.

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

Mush-a-ring damma-do damma-da
Whack for my daddy-oh,
Whack for my daddy-oh,
There's whiskey in the jar.

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 she filled them up with water,
And sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter.

Mush-a-ring damma-do damma-da
Whack for my daddy-oh,
Whack for my daddy-oh,
There's whiskey in the jar.

It was early in the morning just before I rose to travel,
Up the road a band of footmen, and likewise Captain Farrell,
I first produced me pistol, for she stole away me rapier,
But I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken.

Mush-a-ring damma-do damma-da
Whack for my daddy-oh,
Whack for my daddy-oh,
There's whiskey in the jar.

If anyone can aid me, it's me brother in the army,
I know that he is stationed down in Cork or in Killarney.
And if he'll come and join me, we'll go roaming in Kilkenny,
I know he'll treat me better than me olde sporting Jenny.

Mush-a-ring damma-do damma-da
Whack for my daddy-oh,
Whack for my daddy-oh,
There's whiskey in the jar.

Mush-a-ring damma-do damma-da
Whack for my daddy-oh,
Whack for my daddy-oh,
There's whiskey in the jar.
