As I was going over, The Kilmagenny mountains
I met with Captain Farrell, And his money he
was counting
I first took out my pistol, and then took out my sabre
Saying stand and deliver, For I am a bold deciever
Chorus
Mush a ring a doo rum a da,
Whack fol the daddy o
Whack fol the
daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar
2
I counted out his money, And it made a pretty penny
I put it in my pocket, And I took it
home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore, That she never would betray me
But the devil take the women, For they never
can lie easy
3
I went into my chamber, for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels, And for sure it
was no wonder
But Jenny drew my charges, And filled them up with water
And sent for Captain Farrell, and his Footmen
for the slaughter
4
twas early in the morning, Before I rose to travel
Up came a band of footmen,
And likewise Captain Farrell
I then produced my pistol, she'd stole away my sabre
But I couldn't shoot
the water, So a prisoner I was taken
5
And if anyone can aid me, Its my brother in the army
If I can find his station,
In Cork or Killarney
And if he'll go wi' me, We'll go roving in Kilkenny
Im sure he'll treat me better, Than my
lovely sporting Jenny
