The Pogues - Whiskey in the Jar: chords

   C                    Am
As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains,
   F                                C
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was
count'n.
                                 Am
I first produced me pistol, and then produced
me rapier,
         F                        C
Saying stand and deliver for you are the bold
deceiver.

Chorus:
       G
Musha rig um du rum da
C
Whack fol the daddy o
F
Whack fol the daddy o
          C     G       C
There's whiskey in the jar

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

Chorus

I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and sure
it was no wonder
But Jenny threw me charges and she filled
them up with water
And sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for
the slaughter

Chorus

'Twas early in the morning, before I rose to travel
Up comes a footman and likewise captain Farrell
I first produced my pistol, for she stole
away my rapier
I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner
I was taken

Chorus

If anyone can aid me, 'tis my brother in the army
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll go with me, we'll go roving near
Kilkenny
He's sure to treat me better than me own besporting
Jenny

Chorus

There's some take delight in the carriages
a rolling
And others take delight in the gambling and
the roving
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning
bright and early
