[G] As I was going [Em] over the far-famed Kerry [C] Mountains, I met with Captain [G] Farrell and his money he was counting.
I first produced me [Em] pistol, and then produced me [C] rapier.
I stand and [G] deliver for you are a bold [D] deceiver, but you're ring-a-do-a [G]-da.
Quack [C]-fall-a-daddy-o, quack-fall-a-daddy-o, [G] there's whiskey in the jar.
I counted out his money, [Em] and it made a pretty penny.
[C] I put it in me pocket, [G] and I brought it home to Jenny.
She sighed and she swore [Em] that never would she leave [C] me.
But the devil took the [G] woman for you know, she'll trick me [D] easy, but you're ring-a-do-a [G]-da.
Quack-fall-a [C]-daddy-o, quack-fall [G]-a-daddy-o, there's whiskey in the jar.
They went into me chamber, [Em] for all to take me slumber.
[C] I dreamt of golden jewels, [G] ah, but sure it was no wonder.
But Jenny drew me charges, [Em] and filled them up with water.
[C] She sent for Captain Farrell [G] to be ready for the slaughter, [D] but you're ring-a-do-a-da.
[G] Quack-fall-a [C]-daddy-o, quack-fall-a [G]-daddy-o, there's whiskey in the jar.
T'was early in the morning, [Em] as I arose to travel.
[C] Up comes a band of fuck-men, [G] and likewise Captain Farrell.
I went to shoot me pistol, [Em] for she stole away me rapier.
[C] But I couldn't fire for water, [G] so a prisoner I was taken.
[D] But you're ring-a-do-a-da.
[G] Quack-fall-a [C]-daddy-o, quack-fall-a [G]-daddy-o, there's whiskey in the jar.
Well, if anyone can help me, just me brother in the army.
[C] If I can find a station, [G] be it Corker in Killarney.
Well, we both go a-roving [Em] through the mountains of Kilkenny.
[C] I'm sure he'd treat me [G] better than me darlings, for to [D] Jenny.
But you're ring-a-do-a [G]-da.
Quack-fall [C]-a-daddy-o, quack [G]-fall-a-daddy-o, there's whiskey in the jar.
Well, some men take the light, [Em] and the hurly and the [C] bowling.
Others take the [G] light, and their carriages a-rolling.
But me I take the [Em] light, in the juice of the [C] barley.
And I'm corking with [G] the woman in the morning bright and early.
But [D] you're ring-a-do-a-da.
[G] Quack-fall-a-daddy [C]-o, quack-fall-a-daddy [G]-o, there's whiskey in the jar.
