Whiskey In The Jar

   C                    Am
As I was going over the far fam'd 
Kerry Mountains
  F                                
I met with Captain Farrel, and his 
C            G
money he was countin'
  C                               
I first produced my pistol, and I 
Am
than produced my rapier
         F                         
Sayin': "Stand and deliver for you 
C
are a bold deceiver".

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

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

'Twas early in the morning just 
before I rose to travel
  F                           
Up comes a band of footmen and 
     C            G
likewise, Captain Farrel
  C                               
I first produced my pistol for she 
Am
stole away my rapier
        F                         
But I couldn't shoot the water, so a

 prisoner I was taken

Now there's some take delight in the
 carriages a rolling
  F                           
and others take delight in the

hurling and the bowling
  C                               
but I take delight in the juice of

the barley
        F                         
and courting pretty fair maids in 
C
the morning bright and early

If anyone can aid me 'tis my brother
 in the army
  F                                
If I can find his station, in Cork 
C            G
or in Killarney
  C                             
And if he'll go with me we'll go 
  Am
roving in Kilkenny
        F                         
And I'm sure he'll treat me better 
C
than my old a-sporting Jenny
