When i was a young las
I met me strapping Jonny
He was tall and he was handsome
And i looked upon him fondly
He started is pursuing
And sun we were a'courting
And when springtime was'a fading
A gold ring I was a'sporting
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o
Wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
A year we were betrothed
And the wedding plans were started
Come hell or come high water
I knew we would not be parted
But then we were'a married
And I started to grieving'n
Because me handsome Johnny
Had turned to a life of thieving
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o
Wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
He traveled of for fortnights
Gathering up his booty
But I stood beside me husband
For it was me solemn duty
For years I was'a hoping
His ways ways would be'a mending
That he would be an honest man
Before his life was ending
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o
Wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
One day the captain Farrell
On my door he came a'rapping
He said he would kill my husband
Lest I did agree to trapp him
So I waited until midnight
When my Johnny was a'sleeping
And I got up in my bed clothes
Through the house i was a'creeping
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o
Wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
I saw him of that morning
The deception I did cover
And I bid me Johnny farewell
For me heart still called him lover
They captured my poor Johnny
And now he lies in prison
And he say my name in curses
But at least me husbands living
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o
Wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o
Wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
