[Verse 1]
CAm
As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry Mountains
FC
I met with Captain Farrell and his money, he was countin'
CAm
I first produced me pistols and then produced me rapier
FC
Said, "Stand and deliver!" For he were a bold deceiver
[Chorus]
GFC
M'uishe rinne me do amada Wack fall the daddy-o,
AmFCGC
Wack fall the daddy-o, there's whiskey in the jar
[Verse 2]
CAm
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
FC
I put it in my pocket and I brought it home to Jenny
Am
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
FC
But the devil take the women, for they never can be easy
[Chorus]
GFC
M'uishe rinne me do amada Wack fall the daddy-o,
AmFCGC
Wack fall the daddy-o, there's whiskey in the jar

[Verse 3]
CAm
I went into my chamber, all for to take a slumber
FC
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was a wonder
Am
For Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water
FC
Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter
[Chorus]
GFC
M'uishe rinne me do amada Wack fall the daddy-o,
AmFCGC
Wack fall the daddy-o, there's whiskey in the jar
[Bridge]

Na na na-na-na na-na-na na na naa

[Verse 4]
CAm
T'was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
FC
Up came a band of footmen, and likewise captain Farrell
Am
So I first produced me pistol, for she stole away me rapier
FC
But I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken
[Chorus]
GFC
M'uishe rinne me do amada Wack fall the daddy-o,
AmFCGC
Wack fall the daddy-o, there's whiskey in the jar
[Chorus]
GFC
M'uishe rinne me do amada Wack fall the daddy-o,
AmFCGC
Wack fall the daddy-o, there's whiskey in the jar
[Verse 5]
CAm
If anyone can aid me, it's me brother in the army
FC
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
Am
And if he'll go with me, we'd go rovin' through Killkenney
FC
And I'm sure he'd treat me better than me darlin' sportin' Jenny
[Chorus]
GFC
M'uishe rinne me do amada Wack fall the daddy-o,
AmFCGC
Wack fall the daddy-o, there's whiskey in the jar
