Kilgaragh Mountain lyrics by 97th Regimental String Band

As I was a-walkin’ ‘round Kilgaragh Mountain
I spied Colonel Pepper as his money he was countin’
I drew fourth my pistols and I rattled my sabers
Sayin’, „Stand and deliver, for I am the born deceiver.”!
(Chrous)
Musha rig um du rum da
Whack fol the daddy o
Whack fol the daddy o
There’s whiskey in the jar

The shinin’ golden coins did look so bright and jolly
I took ‘em with me home and I gave ‘em to me Molly
She vowed and she promised that she never would deceive me
But the devil’s in the women and they never can be easy
(Chorus)
Musha rig um du rum da
Whack fol the daddy o
Whack fol the daddy o
There’s whiskey in the jar

As I was awakened between six and seven
The guards were all around me in numbers odd and even
I flew to my pistols, but alas I was mistaken
For Molly’s drawn my pistols and a prisoner I was taken
(Chrous)
Musha rig um du rum da
Whack fol the daddy o
Whack fol the daddy o
There’s whiskey in the jar

They put me into jail without judge or writin’
For robbing Colonel Pepper upon Kilgary Mountain
But they didn’t take my fists so I knocked the sentry down
And bid a fond farewell to the jail in Sligo town
(Chrous)
Musha rig um du rum da
Whack fol the daddy o
Whack fol the daddy o
There’s whiskey in the jar

Now some take delight in fishin’ and in bowlin’
And others take delight in carriages a-rollin’
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courtin’ pretty girls in the morning so early
(Chrous)
Musha rig um du rum da
Whack fol the daddy o
Whack fol the daddy o
There’s whiskey in the jar
