Текст на „Whiskey In The Jar“

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 the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
 
I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny
She sighed, and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy
 
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
 
I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder
But Jenny drew my charges, and she filled them up with water
Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter
 
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
 
'Twas early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell
I first produced my pistol for she stole away my rapier
But I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken
 
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
 
Now there's some take delight in the carriages a-rollin'
And others take delight in the hurling and the bowlin'
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
 
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
 
If anyone can aid me, 't is my brother in the army
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' Kilkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny
 
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
 
Ah, mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for the daddy-o
Whack for the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

This lyrics needs some corrections! ;)
Last verse of the second stanza: "For you know she TRICKED me easy"
First verse of the chorus: "MUCHA RAIN dum a doo dum a da"

The lyrics don't correspond to the song at all. It's the text sung by Metallica.

Since I was the last one, who worked on this, I'll correspond.

Unfortunately I can't get access to this video anymore, from the place where I am located. So I can't give a statement about the correspondance lyrics vs. video.

About the song:
It is an Irish traditional with its origin in the 17th century and the author unknown.
So we can assume that it certainly has gone through many changes during the times passing, and today nobody can tell what the "Original Lyrics" are.
It has been recorded by numerous professional artists since the 1950s and many created their own version[s].

Dear, I'm just saying that the video doesn't correspond to the lyrics. Anyway, anyone who reads this may use the above link to sort it out. I just didn't want to leave readers wondering. Thank you, honey. :)

E’ tra le più cantate irish pub song, conosciuta anche come Kilgary Mountain, è la storia di un bandito, (un goliardico Robin Hood) che dopo aver derubato un possidente inglese è tradito dalla propria donna. Le sue debolezze: il succo d’orzo e le belle donne!
Il protagonista della canzone è probabilmente Richard Power, che lascia la contea di Kerry per unirsi ai fuorilegge capeggiati da O’Hanlon e deruba un soldato inglese (tra i bersagli preferiti), ma è catturato perché ingannato dalla bella Jenny (amante o fidanzata): durante la notte, mentre Richard smaltiva la sbornia, lei gli nasconde la spada e mette la polvere da sparo nell’acqua. Circondato dai soldati e impossibilitato a difendersi, Richard si arrende. L’unica sua speranza per evitare l’impiccagione è un fratello arruolato nell’esercito, che potrebbe riuscire a farlo fuggire!
