Whiskey in The Jar — текст песни (Thin Lizzy)

As I was goin over the cork and kerry mountains

I saw captain farrell 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



Musha ring dum a doo dum a da

Whack for my daddy-o

Whack for my daddy-o

Theres 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 shed love me, never would she leave me

But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy



Being drunk and weary I went to mollys chamber

Takin my money with me and I never knew the danger

For about six or maybe seven in walked captain farrell

I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels



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 mollys chamber

But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah
