[Verse]
C Am
As I went a-walkin' on Kilgary Mountain
FCAm
I spied Colonel Pepper, and his money he was countin'
F C Am
I rattled out my pistols and I drew forth my saber
FCAm
Cryin', "Stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver"
[Chorus]
G7 C
Musha rig um dum da

Whack fol the daddy o
F
Whack fol the daddy o

There's whisky in the jar
[Verse]
Am
The gold and silver coins, they looked so bright and shiny
F C Am
Oh, I took them home straightway and I gave 'em to my Molly
F C Am
She vowed and she promised that she never would deceive me
FCAm
But the devil's in the women, oh, you never can believe 'em
[Chorus]
G7 C
Musha rig um dum da

Whack fol the daddy o
F

CGC
There's whisky in the jar
[Verse]
Am
But when I awoke between six and seven
FC Am
The guards were all around me, in numbers odd and even
F C Am
I reached for my pistols, but alas, I was mistaken
FC Am
My pistols had been fired, and a prisoner I was taken
[Chorus]
G7 C
Musha rig um dum da

Whack fol the daddy o

Whack fol the daddy o
CGC
There's whisky in the jar
[Verse]
Am
They put me in the jail without judge or writin'
F C Am
For robbing Colonel Pepper, oh, on Kilgary Mountain
F CAm
But they didn't take my fists, so I knocked the sentry down
F CAm
And bade farewell to the jail in Sligo town
[Chorus]
G7 C
Musha rig um dum da

Whack fol the daddy o
F
Whack fol the daddy o
CGC
There's whisky in the jar
[Verse]
Am
Some people take delight in fishin' and in bowlin'
F CAm
Oh, others take delight in their carriages a-rollin'
F CAm
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
FC Am
And courtin' pretty girls 'til the morning so early
[Chorus]
G7 C
Musha rig um dum da

Whack fol the daddy o

There's whisky in the jar

There's whisky__, oh, whisky in the jar
