WHISKEY IN THE JAR - (Traditional) - por Thin Lizzy

Intro.: G - Em

 

[G]As I was goin' over

[Em]The Cork and Kerry mountains

[C]I saw Captain Farrel

[G]And his money he was countin'

I first produced my pistol

And then produced my rapier

I said: stand and deliver

Or the devil he may take ya

 

[D]Musha ring dumma doo dumma da

[C]Whack for my daddy-o

Whack for my daddy-o, there's

[G]Whiskey in the jar-o

 

I took all of his money

And it was a pretty penny

I took all of his money

And I brought it home to Molly

She swore that she'd love me

Never would she leave me

But the devil take that woman

For you know she trick me easy

 

Refrão

Solo

 

Being drunk and weary

I went to Molly's chamber

Takin' my money with me

And I never knew the danger

For about six or maybe seven

In walked Captain Farrel

I jumped up, fired off my pistols

And I shot him with both barrels

 

Refrão

 

Now some men like the fishin'

And some men like the fowlin'

And some men like ta hear

A cannon ball a roarin'

Me I like sleepin' specially

In my Molly's chamber

But here I am in prison

Here I am with a ball and chain yeah

 

Refrão
