Whiskey In The Jar
Thin Lizzy
Lyrics:
As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains.
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'.
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier.
I said stand o'er and deliver or the devil he may take ya.
Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da.
Whack for my daddy-o,
Whack for my daddy-o.
There's whiskey in the jar-o.
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny.
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly.
She swore that she'd love me, never would she leave me.
But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy.
Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da.
Whack for my daddy-o,
Whack for my daddy-o.
There's whiskey in the jar-o.
Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber.
Takin' my money with me and I never knew the danger.
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell.
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels.
Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da.
Whack for my daddy-o,
Whack for my daddy-o.
There's whiskey in the jar-o.
Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin',
And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a roarin'.
Me? I like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber.
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah.
Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da.
Whack for my daddy-o,
Whack for my daddy-o.
There's whiskey in the jar-o.
And I got drunk on whiskey-o
And I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love my Molly-o
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'.
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier.
I said stand o'er and deliver or the devil he may take ya.
Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da.
Whack for my daddy-o,
Whack for my daddy-o.
There's whiskey in the jar-o.
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny.
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly.
She swore that she'd love me, never would she leave me.
But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy.
Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da.
Whack for my daddy-o,
Whack for my daddy-o.
There's whiskey in the jar-o.
Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber.
Takin' my money with me and I never knew the danger.
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell.
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels.
Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da.
Whack for my daddy-o,
Whack for my daddy-o.
There's whiskey in the jar-o.
Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin',
And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a roarin'.
Me? I like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber.
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah.
Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da.
Whack for my daddy-o,
Whack for my daddy-o.
There's whiskey in the jar-o.
And I got drunk on whiskey-o
And I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love my Molly-o

Letra:
Mientras iba por las montañas Cork y Kerry
Vi al Capitán Farrell y el dinero que estaba contando
Primero saqué mi pistola y luego saqué mi espada
Dije "la bolsa o la vida, o el diablo puede llevarte"
Musha ring um a do um a da (*)
Vi al Capitán Farrell y el dinero que estaba contando
Primero saqué mi pistola y luego saqué mi espada
Dije "la bolsa o la vida, o el diablo puede llevarte"
Musha ring um a do um a da (*)
Un golpe para mi padre
un golpe para mi padre
Hay whiskey en la jarra
Tomé todo su dinero y era un dineral
Tomé todo su dinero y lo llevé a casa de Molly
Ella juró que me amaría que nunca me dejaría
Pero que el diablo se lleve a esa mujer
Porque sabes que me engaño fácil
Tomé todo su dinero y lo llevé a casa de Molly
Ella juró que me amaría que nunca me dejaría
Pero que el diablo se lleve a esa mujer
Porque sabes que me engaño fácil
Musha ring um a do um a da
Un golpe para mi padre
un golpe para mi padre
Hay whiskey en la jarra
Estando borracho y cansado
Fui al dormitorio de Molly
Llevando a Molly conmigo
No conocía el peligro
Cerca de las seis o tal vez las siete
Entró el Capitán Farrell
Me levante de un salto, disparé mis pistolas
Y le disparé con los dos cañones
Musha ring um a do um a da
Un golpe para mi padre
un golpe para mi padre
Hay whiskey en la jarra
Ahora a algunos hombres les gusta la pesca
Y a algunos hombres les gusta la caza
Y a algunos hombres les gusta escuchar
Escuchar rugir la bala de cañón
Pero a mí me gusta dormir
Especialmente en el dormitorio de mi Molly
Pero aquí estoy, en la cárcel
Aquí estoy con una bola y una cadena, si
Musha ring um a do um a da
Un golpe para mi padre
un golpe para mi padre
Hay whiskey en la jarra
Aclaraciones:
(*) En el estribillo se dice la frase "Musha ring Um A Da" que en irlandés significa: "el whiskey me hizo una jugarreta" o algo similar. A la hora de traducirla he decidido conservar la expresión en su versión original ya que este tema es realmente una canción tradicional irlandesa.
