Kilgary Mountain / (Whisky in the jar)

trad. Irland 1870

1. As I was going over the Kilgary Mountain,
   I met with Colonel Pepper and his money he was countin'.
   I rattled me pistols and I drew forth me saber,
   Sayin' stand and deliver for I am the bold receiver.

Chorus :
Musha rigum da rumda - wack fol the daddy oh,
wack fol the daddy oh - there's whisky in the jar.

2. The shining golden coins did look so bright and jolly
   I took ´em with me home and I brought ´em to me Molly
   She promised and she vowed that she'll never would deceive me
   But the devil take the women for they never can be easy.
   Chorus ---
3. When I was awakened between six and seven
   The guards were all around me in numbers odd and even,
   I flew for me pistols, but alas, I was mistaken
   For Molly´d drawn me pistols and a prisoner I was taken.
   Chorus ---
4. They put me into jail without a judge or writin'
   For robbing Colonel Pepper on Kilgary Mountain.
   But they didn't tie me fists so I knocked the sentry down,
   And bid a fond farewell to the jail in Sligo town.
   Chorus ---
5. Now, some take delight in fishin´ and bowlin´,
   And others take delight in their carriages rolling,
   But I take delight in the juice of the barley,
   And courtin´ pretty fair maids in the mornin´ bright and early.
   Chorus ---
