Whiskey In The Jar

Me (Jopie, with the red scarf) and Rúna playing and singing the wonderful song Whiskey in the Jar.
I'm sorry of the bad quality, this was being filmed with a really bad camera, and the sound's not too good either. But I do hope you can still hear what we're doing :).

Lyrics:
As I was a goin' over to the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier
Said Stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver

Chorus:
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

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

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

't was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
The guards were all around me and likewise was captain Farrell
I first produced me pistol for she'd stolen away me rapier
I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken

(Chorus)
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 rovin' through Killkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than me darlin' sportlin' Jenny

(Chorus)
Now some men take delight in the drinking and the roving,
but others take delight in the gambling and the smoking.
But I take delight in the juice of the barley,
and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early

(Chorus)

Not all versions of the lyrics are the same! But we sang this version.
