Yeah...HmmmmmAs I was going over the far famed Kerry mountainsI met with captain Farrell and his money he was countingI first produced my pistol, and then produced my rapierSaying "stand and deliver", for he were a bold deceiverWith your ring dum-a do dam-a daWhack for the daddy'o Whack for the daddy'oThere's whiskey in the jarI counted out his money, and it made a pretty pennyI put it in my pocket and I took it home to JennyShe swore, that she loved me, never would she leave meBut the devil take the women, for she know she tricked meeasyWith your ring dum-a do dam-a daWhack for the daddy'o Whack for the daddy'oThere's whiskey in the jarIt was early in the morning, before I rose up for travelUp came a band of footmen and likewise captain FarrellI first produced my pistol, for she stole away my rapierBut I couldn't shoot the captain, so a prisoner I was takenWith your ring dum-a do dam-a daWhack for the daddy'o Whack for the daddy'oThere's whiskey in the jarNow some men they like drinkingAnd some men they like fightingSongtexteSome men like to hear the sound of a cannon ball a rollin'Me, I like sleepingSpecially in my Jenny's Chamber'sBut here I am in prisonHere I am with a ball and chain hereWith your ring dum-a do dam-a daWhack for the daddy'o Whack for the daddy'oThere's whiskey in the jarAs I was going over the far famed Kerry mountainsI met with captain Farrell and his money he was countingI first produced my pistol, and then produced my rapierSaying "stand and deliver", for he were a bold deceiverWith your ring dum-a do dam-a daWhack for the daddy'o Whack for the daddy'oThere's whiskey in the jarWith your ring dum-a do dam-a daWhack for the daddy'o Whack for the daddy'oThere's whiskey in the jar Aus Songtexte Mania
