Irish Stew lyrics
As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier
Saying "Stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar (x2)
On the fourth of July eighteen hundred and six
We set sail from the sweet cove of Cork
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
For the grand city hall in New York
'Twas a wonderful craft, she was rigged fore-and-aft
And oh, how the wild winds drove her.
She'd got several blasts, she'd twenty-seven masts
And we called her the Irish Rover.
Ay Idle I um pe yiddle y um pe yiddle y yiddle y eh (x2)]
She walks along Fitzgibbon Street with an independent air,
And then its down by Summerhill and the people stop and stare,
She says it's nearly half past one,It's time I had another little one,
Ah the heart of the rowl is Dicey Riley.
Poor aul Dicey Riley she has taken to the sup,
Poor aul Dicey Riley she will never give it up,
It's off each morning to the hock,and she drops in for another little drop.
Ah the heart of the rowl is Dicey Riley.
Come down the mountain, Katie Daly,
Come down from the mountain, Katie do,
Can't you hear us calling, Katie Daly,
We want to drink, your Irish mountain dew oo-oo (2x)
I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she never would betray me
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar (2x)
