Whiskey In The Jar Lyrics - Singles - The Limeliters

I have been a rover, I have been a bold deceiver 

And now I earn my livin' with my pistol and my rapier 

I don't know what I've stolen, but 'twould make a pretty penny 

And now I've lost it all to my darlin' sportin' Jenny 

Musha rig um du rum da 

Whack fol the daddy-o 

Whack fol the daddy-o 

There's whiskey in the jar 

I robbed Colonel Farrell up on Gilgarry Mountain 

I took the gold to Jenny just to help me with the countin' 

But Jenny called the guards, Lord, I've never saw so many 

I almost lost my freedom with my darlin' sportin' Jenny 

Musha rig um du rum da 

Whack fol the daddy-o 

Whack fol the daddy-o 

There's whiskey in the jar 

I'd like to find me brother, he's the one that's in the army 

I don't know where he's stationed, be it Cork or in Kilarney 

Together we'd go rovin' o'er the mountains of Kilkenny 

I'd swear he'd treat me fairer than my darlin' sportin' Jenny 

Musha rig um du rum da 

Whack fol the daddy-o 

Whack fol the daddy-o 

There's whiskey in the jar 

'Twas early in the morning at the barracks of Kilarney 

My brother took his leave but he didn't tell the army 

Our horses, they were speedy, 'twas all over but the shoutin' 

Now we make our livin' up on Gilgarry Mountain 

Musha rig um du rum da 

Whack fol the daddy-o 

Whack fol the daddy-o 

There's whiskey in the jar 

Musha rig um du rum da 

Whack fol the daddy-o 

Whack fol the daddy-o 

There's whiskey in the jar
