Last stanza;
|
TWhiskey in the Jar
|
(Traditional)
|
|
Spoken:
|
All beside the river deep, the warriors there a vigil keep
|
When the sun does rise and the day does break
|
The warriors say "the west's awake"
|
|
As I was a rovin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains,
|
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'
|
I first produced my pistol, and then produced my rapier
|
Sayin' stand and deliver for I am your bold receiver
|
|
Well shirigim duraham da
|
Wack fall the daddy oh, wack fall the daddy oh
|
There's whiskey in the jar.
|
|
Well I counted out his money it made a pretty penny
|
I put it in my pocket and took it home to Jenny
|
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
|
But the devil take the women for you know she tricked me easy
|
|
I went into me chamber all for to take a slumber
|
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder
|
For Jenny stole my pistols, she filled them up with water
|
Then she sent for Farrell to get ready for the slaughter
|
|
It was early in the morning, before I rose to travel
|
The guards all around me and likewise Captain Farrell
|
I first produced my pistol for she'd stole away my rapier
|
But I couldn't shoot with water so I prisoner I was taken
|
|
I don't know who can aid me, my brother's in the army
|
I don't know where he's stationed be it Cork or in Killarney
|
Together we'll go roving o'r the mountains of Killkenney
|
I know he'd treat me better than me darling' sporting Jenny
|
|
It was early in the morning at the barracks in Killarney
|
My brother took his leave, but he didn't tell the army
|
The horses they were bought, it's all over but the shouting
|
Now we wait for Farrell up on Killkenney Mountain
|
