The next song, ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to dedicate to the man here on the extreme right.
His name is Ciarán Burke, and the subject is whiskey, and it's called Whiskey in a Jar, and it goes like this.
[G]
[D]
As I was going over [Bm] the far-famed Kerry Mountains, [G] I met with Captain Farrell and his [D] money he was counting.
I first produced my case to land, I [Bm] then produced my right cure.
[G] Take land and deliver, for [D] you are a bold deceiver, my [F#m] sure.
[D] Swipe all the money [G] over, swipe all the money [D] over, whiskey in the jar.
I counted out his money, [Bm] and it made a poochy penny.
I [G] put it in his pocket, [D] and I took it home to Jenny.
She sighed and she swore [Bm] that she never would deceive me.
[G] But a little take, the women, [D] for they never can be easy, [A] my sure.
Ding-a-ba-doo-da-ma-da, [D] swipe all the money [G] over, swipe all the money [D] over, whiskey in the jar.
I went up to my [Bm] chamber, all four to take a slumber.
[G] I drank the golden jewels, [D] and for sure it was no wonder.
But Jenny drew me chargings, [Bm] and she filled them up with water.
[G] Then sent for Captain Farrell [D] to be ready for the slaughter, [A] my sure.
[D] Swipe all the money [G] over, swipe all the money [D] over, whiskey in the jar.
And so early in the morning, [Bm] just before I rose to travel,
[G] up comes a man and a footman, [D] and likewise Captain Farrell.
I first produced my pistol, for [Bm] she'd stolen away my rapier.
[G] I couldn't shoot the water, [D] so a prisoner I was taken, [A] my sure.
[D] Swipe all the money [G] over, swipe all the money [D] over, whiskey in the jar.
If anyone can aid me, it is [Bm] my brother in the army.
[G] If I can find a station, [D] then porter in Killarney.
And if he'll go with me, [Bm] we'll go roaming in Kilkenny.
[G] And I'm sure he'll treat me better than [D] my own, my sporting Jenny, my [F#m] sure.
[D] Swipe all the money [G] over, swipe all the money [D] over, whiskey in the jar.
And [A] my sure.
Swipe [D] all the money [G] over, swipe all the money [D] over, whiskey in the jar.
