Letra Whiskey in the jar Metallica

Whiskey in the jar

(Has also been recorded by Thin Lizzy)

As I was going over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take you

Yeah

I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money, yeah, and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she'd love me, no, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman, yeah, for you know she tricked me easy

Musha rain dum a do dum a da
Whack for my daddy o
Whack for my daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar o

Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
Taking money with me and I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven, yeah, in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired my pistols, and I shot him with both barrels, yeah

Musha rain dum a do dum a da, yeah yeah
Whack for my daddy o
Whack for my daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar o

Yeah, whiskey
Yo ooh, whiskey

Yo ooh, yeah, ooh
Yo oo ooh, yeah

Now some men like the fishing and some men like the fowling
And some men like to hear, to hear the cannonball a roaring
Me I like sleeping, especially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah

Musha rain dum a do dum a da, yeah yeah
Whack for my daddy o
Whack for my daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar o, yeah

Whiskey in the jar o, yeah

Musha rain dum a do dum a da
Musha rain dum a do dum a da, hey
Musha rain dum a do dum a da
Musha rain dum a do dum a da
Yeah
