{c: } 
[C] [C]
[C] As I was a goin' over the [Am] far famed Kerry mountains   
I [F] met with Captain Farrell and his [C] money he was [Am] counting   
I [C] first produced my pistol and I [Am] then produced my rapier   
Said [F] "Stand and deliver" for you [C] are my bold de-[Am]ceiver  
{c: } 
    
With me [G] ring dum-a doo dum-a da   
[C] Whack for the daddy-o. [F] whack for the daddy-o   
There's [C] whiskey [G7] in the [C] jar.  
{c: } 
I [C] counted out his money and it [Am] made a pretty penny   
I [F] put it in me pocket and I [C] brought it home to [Am] Jenny   
She [C] said and she swore that she [Am] never would deceive me   
But the [F] devil take the women for they [C] never can be [Am] easy  
{c: } 
With me [G] ring dum-a doo dum-a da   
[C] Whack for the daddy-o. [F] whack for the daddy-o   
There's [C] whiskey [G7] in the [C] jar.  
{c: } 
I [C] went into my chamber, all [Am] for to take a slumber   
I [F] dreamt of gold and jewels and for [C] sure it was no [Am] wonder   
But [C] Jenny drew me charges and she [Am] filled them up with water   
Then [F] sent for captain Farrell to be  [C] ready for the [Am] slaughter. 
{c: }    
With me [G] ring dum-a doo dum-a da   
[C] Whack for the daddy-o. [F] whack for the daddy-o   
There's [C] whiskey [G7] in the [C] jar.   
{c: } 
It was [C] early in the morning, just be[Am]fore I rose to travel   
The  [F] guards were all around me and [C] likewise Captain [Am] Farrell   
I [C] first produced me pistol for she [Am] stole away me rapier   
But I [F] couldn't shoot the water, so a [C] prisoner I was [Am] taken.  
{c: } 
With me [G] ring dum-a doo dum-a da   
[C] Whack for the daddy-o. [F] whack for the daddy-o   
There's [C] whiskey [G7] in the [C] jar.  
{c: } 
If [C] anyone can aid me, it's my [Am] brother in the army,    
If [F] I can find his station in [C] Cork or in  Kill-[Am]arney.    
And [C] if he'll come and save me, we'll go [Am] roving near Kilkenny,    
and I [F] swear he'll treat me better than me [C] darling sportling [Am] Jenny.  
{c: } 
With me [G] ring dum-a doo dum-a da   
[C] Whack for the daddy-o. [F] whack for the daddy-o   
There's [C] whiskey [G7] in the [C] jar.    
{c: } 
Now [C] some men take delight in the [Am] drinking and the roving,    
But [F] others take delight in the [C] gambling and the [Am] smoking.    
But [C] I take delight in the [Am] juice of the barley,    
and [F] courting pretty Jenny in the [C] morning bright and [Am] early.  
{c: } 
With me [G] ring dum-a doo dum-a da   
[C] Whack for the daddy-o. [F] whack for the daddy-o   
There's [C] whiskey [G7] in the [C] jar.  
{c: Slowing On The Last Line}
With me [G] ring dum-a doo dum-a da   
[C] Whack for the daddy-o. [F] whack for the daddy-o   
There's [C] whiskey [G7] in the [C] jar.
