C                                       Bb
As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains
  C                                            Bb
I met with Captain Farrel and his money he was countin'
  C
I first produced my pistol and I than produced my rapier
C                                G             C           
Sayin' stand and deliver for you are my bold deceiver 

Chorus
C                       Bb         
Oh one for the diddle o one for the diddle o 
        C              Bb
There's whiskey in the jar 
C                    Bb            
One for the diddle o one for the diddle o

He counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
  C                                       Bb
I put it in my pocket and I gave it to my Jenny
    C                      
She sighed and she swore that she never would betray me
C                                      G            C
But the devil takes the women for they never can be easy

I went into my chamber all for to take a slumber
  C                                                Bb
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder
    C
But Jenny drew my charges and she filled them out with water

Then sent for Captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter

'Twas early in the morning just before I rose to travel
   C                                            Bb
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrel

I first produced my pistol for she stole away my rapier
C                                            G     C
But I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken

Oh one for the diddle o one for the diddle o

There's whiskey in the jar

C                                          Bb
They put me into prison without a judge or right to
    C                                             Bb
For robbin' Captain Farrel on the far famed Kerry mountains
         C
But they couldn't take me fists so I knocked a jailer down
C                                G        C
So I bad farewell to the jail of Limerick town

Oh one for the diddle o one for the diddle o 
        C              Bb
There's whiskey in the jar

One for the diddle o one for the diddle o
        C       G      C 
There's whiskey in the jar

And others take delight in the carriage faster rollin'
    C
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
C                                          G     C
And courtin' pretty laies in the mountains of Killarney

Oh one for the diddle o one for the diddle o

There's whiskey in the jar 
C                    Bb            
One for the diddle o one for the diddle o
        C       G      C 
There's whiskey in the jar
