As I was a-goin’ over Gilgarra mountains ~ I met Colonel Pepper and his money he was counting ~ I drew forth my pistol and I rattled my sabre ~~ Saying “stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver”
Musha ringum duram da ~ Whack-fall the daddy-o ~ Whack-fall the daddy-o ~~ There’s whiskey in the jar
The shining yellow coins did sure look bright and jolly ~ I took the money home and I gave it to my Molly ~ She promised and she vowed that she never would deceive me ~~ But the devil’s in the women for they never can be easy
Musha ringum duram da ~ Whack-fall the daddy-o ~ Whack-fall the daddy-o ~~ There’s whiskey in the jar
When I awoke between the hours of six and seven ~ Guards were standing ’round me in numbers odd and even ~ I flew to my pistols, but alas I was mistaken ~~ I fired off my pistols and a prisoner was taken **
Musha ringum duram da ~ Whack-fall the daddy-o ~ Whack-fall the daddy-o ~~ There’s whiskey in the jar
They put me in jail without a judge or jury ~ For robbing Colonel Pepper in the morning so early ~ They didn’t take my fist so I knocked down the sentry ~~ And I bid a long farewell to that cold penitentiary
Musha ringum duram da ~ Whack-fall the daddy-o ~ Whack-fall the daddy-o ~~ There’s whiskey in the jar
Some take delight in fishing and bowling ~ Others take delight in carriage a-rollin’ ~ I take delight in the juice of the barley ~~ Courting pretty women in the morning so early
Musha ringum duram da ~ Whack-fall the daddy-o ~ Whack-fall the daddy-o ~~ There’s whiskey in the jar

♪ Well if anyone can aid me ’tis me brother in the Army
But I can’t remember where he’s stationed, is it Cork or in Kilarney?
But together we’ll go roamin’ o’er the mountains of Kilkenny
And I know he’ll treat me better than me darlin’ sportin’ Jenny.
Musha ring um dur um da Wack fol the daddy-o
Wack fol the daddy-o There’s whiskey in the jar ♪♫
’Twas early in the morning at the barracks of Killarney
My brother took his leave
But he didn’t tell the Army
Our horses they were speeding
‘twas all over but the shoutin’
Now we make our livin’ up on Killgary Mountain
Musha ring um dur um da Wack fol the daddy-o
Wack fol the daddy-o There’s whiskey in the jar♪♫
