Whiskey In Me Giro
|
As I was going over the far famed Kerry Mountains
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting,
I first whipped out me Pistol then I rattled out me Rapier,
And said "Stand and Deliver for I am the Bold Reciever"
Muship Easup Yrbumin Yreye
Whack Fal Di Daddio, Whack Fal Di Daddio,
There`s Whiskey in Me GIRO.
I counted out the money and it made a pretty penny,
I stuck it in Me pocket and I took it home to Jenny.
She sighed and she swore that she never would decieve me,
But the Devil take the women for the never do be easy.
Chorus
I went up to me chambers for to have a pleasant slumber,
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder,
For Jenny took me charges and she filled `em up with water,
And sent for Captain Farrell to get ready for the slaughter.
Chorus
`Twas early in the morning, before I rose to travel,
Up comes a band of footmen in the charge of Capn Farrell.
I fumbled for me pistol for she`d stole away me Rapier
But I couldn`t shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken.
Chorus
Now the only one can aid me is me brother in the army,
If I could learn his station out in Cork or in Killarney,
And if he`d come and spring me we`d go rovin` in Kilkenny,
And I`d wager treat me better than me only spoilin` Jenny.
Chorus
Now some take delight in A`fishin` or A`bowlin`
But me I take delight in those carriages A`rollin`
And I take delight in the juices of yer Barley,(FANNY)
And courtin` pretty maidens in the morning broght and early.
Chorus
