[G] [C]
As I was going over [Am] the far-famed Kerry Mountains, [F]
I met with Captain Farrell and [C] his money he was counting.
I first produced me pistol [Am] and I then produced me rapier, [F] thanks to that [C] I'm a bold deceiver, my [G] shirring, da-da-doo, da-da-da.
[C] Whack all the daddy [F]-o, whack all the daddy [C]-o, there's whiskey in the jar.
I counted out his money and [Am] it made a pretty penny, [F] I put it in [C] me pocket and I took it home to Jenny.
She sighed and she swore [Am] that she never would deceive me, [F] but the devil [C] take the women for they never can be easy, [G] my shirring, da-da-doo, da-da-da.
[C]
Whack all the daddy [F]-o, whack all the daddy-o, [G] there's [C] whiskey in the jar.
I went on to my chamber [Am] all for to take a slumber, [F] I dreamt of golden [C] jewels and for sure it was no wonder.
But Jenny drew me [Am] charger and she filled him up with water, [F] then sent for [C] Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter, my [G] shirring, da-da-doo, da-da [C]-da.
Whack all the daddy [F]-o, whack all the [C] daddy [Em]-o, there's whiskey [C] in the jar.
It was early in the morning [Am] just before I rose to travel, [F] up comes a band of [C] footmen and likewise Captain Farrell.
I first produced me pistol [Am] for she'd stolen away me rapier, [F] but I couldn't shoot the water [C] so a prisoner I was taken, [G] my shirring, da-da-doo, da-da-da.
[C] Whack all the daddy [F]-o, whack all [C] the daddy-o, there's whiskey in the jar.
Now there's some take the light [Am] in the carriages a-rolling, [F] and others take the [C] light in the harley at the bowling.
But I take the light [Am] in the juice of the barley, [F] and courting pretty fair [C] maids in the morning bright and early, [G] my shirring, da-da-doo, da-da-da.
[C] Whack all the daddy [F]-o, whack all the daddy [G]-o, there's whiskey [C] in the jar.
If anyone can aid [Am] me, it is me brother in the army, [F] if I [C] can find a station in Torca or in Calarnie, and if he'll go with me, [Am] we'll go roaming in Kilkenny.
[F] And I'm sure he'll treat me better [C] than me only sporting Jenny, [Em] my shirring, da-da-doo, da-da [C]-da.
Whack all the daddy-o, [F] whack all the daddy [G]-o, there's whiskey [C] in the jar.
[Em] My shirring, da-da-doo, da-da-da.
