Whisky in the Jar - Vollsanger

An old Traditional song originally the "Highwayman and the Captain", but a favourite at every fireside and Tavern Evening. Of course, as an Irish song it probably should be Whiskey with an "E", but Vollsanger only drinks Scotch so this version is E-less!

Vollsanger can be found on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp as well as Youtube and Faccebook..

Whisky in the Jar..
As I was a goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier
Saying "stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver"

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for they always lie so easy

I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't was no wonder
But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water
Then sent for captain Farrell and warned him o' the slaughter

'Twas was early in the morning, before I rose to travel
Up came the footmen led by captain Farrell
I produced me pistols for she stole away me rapier
I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken

If anyone can aid me 't is 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 rollin' through Killkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own deceiving Jenny

Now there's some take delight in the carriages a-rollin'
And others take delight in the hurly and the burly
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
