So we are currently down in the wine cellar of Knocktopher Abbey and we have met some absolutely, fantastically, amazing people, and we are about to hear, “Whiskey in the Jar”, live in the bottom of a cellar, and you guys should be here, so make sure you show up in Ireland, because Ireland is awesome! So, as soon as they start playing, we’ll be listening. And at the moment, we’re just live and you guys are staring at me (laughs). Pretty exciting!
She laughs at me every time I do this (laughs). We’re working on it guys, working on it.
May I present a different type of clapping pattern with this song. Three times then once. So, the chorus goes a little like this.
Mush a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Wack fall the daddy o, wack fall the daddy o.
“There’s whiskey in the jar …” (singing).
“Oh as I was a 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 then produced my rapier
Saying “Stand and deliver” for he were a bold deceiver
Mush a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Wack fall the daddy o, wack fall the daddy o
There’s whiskey in the jar.
Oh! Gerald.
I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
But I put it in me pocket and I brought it home to Jenny.
She sighed and then she swore that never would she leave me
But the devil take the women for you sure tricked me easy.
Mush a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Wack fall the daddy o, wack fall the daddy o
There’s whiskey in the jar o.
I went down to my chamber, all for to take a slumber.
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder
But Jenny brought me charges and she filled them up with water
Then sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter.
Mush a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Wack fall the daddy o, wack fall the daddy o
There’s whiskey in the jar.
Was early in the morning, now before we rose to travel
Up comes a man with four footmen and likewise captain Farrell
I first produced my pistol, she stole away me rapier
I couldn’t shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken.
Mush a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Wack fall the daddy o, wack fall the daddy o
There’s whiskey in the jar.
“Ohh, wack fall the daddy oh, there’s whiskey in the jar.” (singing)
There’s some take delight in the carriages a rolling
and others take delight in the hurling and the bawling
but me I take delight in the juice of the barley
and courting pretty women in the morning bright and early
Mush a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Wack fall the daddy o, wack fall the daddy o
There’s whiskey in the jar.
Mush a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Wack fall the daddy o, wack fall the daddy o
There’s whiskey in the jar.
Mush a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Wack fall the daddy o, wack fall the daddy o
There’s whiskey in the jar.”
