w:whack fol the dad-dy o, whack fol the dad-dy o, there's whis-key in the jar!
W:2.He counted out his money,
W:and it made a pretty penny,
W:I put it in me pocket
W:and I took it home to Jenny.
W:She sighed and she swore
W:that she never would betray me,
W:but the Devil take the women
W:for they never can be easy!
W:
W:3.I went into my chamber
W:all for to take a slumber,
W:I dreamt of gold and jewels
W:and for sure it was no wonder.
W:But Jenny drew me charges,
W:and she filled them up with water,
W:and she sent for captain Farrell
W:to be ready for the slaughter!
W:
W:4.And itwas early in the mornin
W:before I rose to travel,
W:up comes a band of footmen
W:and likewise Captain Farrell.
W:I then produced my pistol,
W:for she'd stolen away my rapier,
W:but I couldn't shoot the water,
W:so a prisoner I was taken!
W:
W:5.If anyone can aid me,
W:it's me brother in the army,
W:If I can find his station
W:in Cork or in Killarney.
W:And if he'd come and join me,
W:we'd go roving in Kilkenny,
W:I'm sure he'd treat me better
W:than me darling sporting Jenny!
