Lyrics

Musha ringum duram da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Some take delight in the carriage a-rollin'
Others take delight in fishing and bowling
I take delight in the fruit of the barley
Courting pretty women in the morning so early

Musha ringum duram da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

(What is the name of that?)
"Whiskey in the Jar" it's called
("Whiskey in the Jar")
That's the song that has "I am a bold deceiver" in it
(I remembеr doing that song very, years and years ago)
Yеah, right
(Yeah, I haven't heard that one in thirty years)
Yeah, right, I haven't either, I just remembered it
(The whole song, where's it all?)
Well
(Musha ringum duran da, whack for de jar, whack fol, whack fol de)
Whack fol de daddy-o
(Whack fol de daddy-o, daddy-o)
Right, it's got great lyrics, it's a cool song
(Wild wonderful stuff)
Yeah, it's a cool song
(I guess that's Irish)
I hope so (Yeah)
As I was walkin' down the mountain
Met Colonel Pepper and his money he was counting
Fired off my pistols and I rattled my sabre
Saying, "Stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver"

Musha ringum duram da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

The shiny golden coins sure look bright and jolly
Took the money home and I gave it to my Molly
She promised and she vowed that she never would deceive me
But the devil's in the women and they never can be easy

Musha ringum duram da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

I was awaken between the hours of six and seven
Guards stood 'round my bed in numbers odd and even
I didn't have my pistols, so they...
Da-da-da-da-d, da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Musha ringum duram da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Step down low
C, C

They put me in jail without a judge or jury
For robbing Colonel Pepper in the morning so early
They didn't take my fist so I knocked down the sentry
Bid a long farewell to that cold penitentiary

Musha ringum duram da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Some take delight in fishing and bowling
Others take delight in the carriage a-rollin'
I take delight in the juice of the barley
Courting pretty women in the morning so early

Musha ringum duram da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

As I was a-ridin' over Gilgarra mountains
I met Colonel Pepper and his money he was counting
Shot off my pistols and I rattled my sabre
Saying "Stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver"

Musha ringum duram da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Nice (Yeah)
A folk song, cool one, though
