Verse 1
As I (G major) was going over the far
-famed Kerry Mountains,
I met with Captain Farrell
and his money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol
and I threw forth my sabre,
saying, Stand and deliver,
for you are about a sabre.
Oh, whack for the diddle -o,
whack for the diddle -o,
there's whisky in the jar.
And whack for the diddle -o,
whack for the diddle -o,
there's whisky in the jar.
As I was going over the (E minor) Kilgarry mountains
I met (C major) with Captain Farrell
and his (G major) money he was counting
I first produced my pistol
and I (E minor) threw forth my sabre
Stand (C major) and deliver for you
(G major) are a bold deceiver
Verse 2

Went into my chamber,
on (E minor) for to take a slumber

so I knocked (E minor) the sentry down
And I (C major) bid a long farewell
to the (G major) jail in Limerick town

Whack (C major) -a -follow the daddy -o
There's (G major) whiskey in the jar

The (E minor) one that's in the army
If (C major) I could find his station
In (G major) Cork or in Killarney
Together we'll go rovin'
Over the moun (E minor) tains of Kilkenny
I swear (C major) he'd treat me better
Than did (G major) Arlen Sportington
Mush -a (D major) -ring -a -boom -da -rum -da
Whack (G major) all the daddy -o,
whack (C major) all the daddy -o,
there's (G major) whiskey in (D major) the (G major) jar
There's some take delight
in the (E minor) carriages a -rollin'
And (C major) others take delight
in the (G major) hurling and the bowling
But I take delight
in the (E minor) juice of the barley
And (C major) courtin' pretty lassies
in the morn (G major) in' bright and early
Pusher (D major) ring -a -doodle -oo da
(G major) Back follow the daddy -o

There's (G major) whiskey (D major) in that (G major) jar -o
