As I came over Kilkenny Mountain
I met Captain Irwin and his money he was countin'
I first produced my pistol, then produced my rapier, sayin'
"Stand and Deliver!" for I am a bold deceiver
My Cheerie
Duh-din, Duh-day
Right for the Daddy-O!
Right for the Daddy-O!
There's Whiskey in the Jar
He counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in my pocket and I took it to my Jenny
She swore in her heart that she never would deceive me
But the Devil take the Women, for they never can be easy
I went to Jenny's chamber for to take a little 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
And she fetched Captain Irwin just as fast as she could totter
'Twas early in the morning I awakened from my nappin'
I beheld a band of footmen and the wily, handsom captain
I reached for my pistols, for to begin the slaughter
But I could not discharge them, for I could not shoot the water
I reached for my rapiers but I found I hadn't any
Then I knew they had been taken by my darlin' sportin' Jenny
And thus I did surrender, a prisoner I was taken
And by a gay deceiver I was all forsaken |

We learned this song from a recording by Canadian Folk Legend, Tom Kines, which Kele found on a Radio Canada International release when she was looking for theme music for her radio show of the same name. We've grown to like it much more than the standard version.
Kevin Burke's Polka came from Kevin Burke's CD, "Up Close." He just calls it "A Polka;" we added his name to honour this great fiddler. |

Really good version of Whiskey in the Jar, and Kevin Burke's Polka is executed perfectly.
I want to hear more stuff from these guys (and girls)! | | Rating: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
