Gilgarra Mountain Full Lyrics
[00:13.12] As I was a goin' over Gilgarra Mountain
[00:20.05] I spied Colonel Farrell and his money he was countin'
[00:27.23] First I drew me pistols, and then I drew me rapier, sayin'
[00:34.43] "Stand and deliver for I am your bold deceiver"
[00:40.34] Mush-a-ring-um duram da
[00:45.00] Whack fol the daddy o
[00:48.40] Whack fol the daddy o
[00:51.01] There's whiskey in the jar
[00:56.22] He counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
[01:03.13] I put in me pocket to take home to darlin' Jenny
[01:10.09] She sighed and swore she loved me
[01:13.58] And never would deceive me
[01:16.97] But the devil take the women for they always lie so easy
[01:26.25] Mush-a-ring-um duram da
[01:30.80] Whack fol the daddy o
[01:34.43] Whack fol the daddy o
[01:37.14] There's whiskey in the jar
[01:42.36] I went into me chamber all for to take a slumber
[01:49.49] To dream of gold and girls and o'course it was no wonder
[01:56.58] Me Jenny took me charges and she filled them up with water
[02:03.30] Called on Colonel Farrell to get ready for the slaughter
[02:09.79] Mush-a-ring-um duram da
[02:14.46] Whack fol the daddy o
[02:17.94] Whack fol the daddy o
[02:20.59] There's whiskey in the jar
[02:26.19] Next mornin' early before I rose to travel
[02:32.64] A' came a band o' footmen and likewise Colonel Farrell
[02:39.60] I goes to draw me pistol for she'd stole away me rapier
[02:46.46] But a prisoner I was taken, I couldn't shoot the water
[02:53.09] Mush-a-ring-um duram da
[02:57.67] Whack fol the daddy o
[03:01.29] Whack fol the daddy o
[03:03.84] There's whiskey in the jar
[03:09.00] They put me into jail with the judge all a-writin'
[03:16.11] For robbin' Colonel Farrell on Gilgarra Mountain
[03:22.89] But they didn't take me fists so I knocked the jailer down
[03:29.61] And bid a farewell to this tight-fisted town
[03:36.22] Mush-a-ring-um duram da
[03:40.90] Whack fol the daddy o
[03:44.53] Whack fol the daddy o
[03:47.15] There's whiskey in the jar
[03:51.88]
[04:02.70] I'd like to find me brother, the one that's in the army
[04:11.22] I don't know where he's stationed, in Cork or in Killarney
[04:19.72] Together we'd go roamin'o'er the mountains of Kilkenny
[04:27.76] And I swear he'd treat me fairer than me darlin' sportin' Jenny
[04:35.43] Mush-a-ring-um duram da
[04:40.86] Whack fol the daddy o
[04:44.70] Whack fol the daddy o
[04:47.69] There's whiskey in the jar
[04:53.35] There's some takes delight in the carriages and rollin'
[05:00.48] And some takes delight in the hurley or the bollin'
[05:08.79] But I takes delight in the juice of the barley
[05:16.85] Courtin' pretty maids in the mornin' oh so early
[05:26.54] Mush-a-ring-um duram da
[05:31.94] Whack fol the daddy o
[05:35.74] Whack fol the daddy o
[05:38.74] There's whiskey in the jar
[05:41.77]
