Solo in C major, keeping to tempo and the overall Celtic feel, but improvise all you
want - pretty safe song.  Enjoy.
 
     C                    Am
    As I was a-goin' over Gilgarra mountains
     F                           C            Am
    I met Colonel Pepper and his money he was counting
      F                          C          Am
    I drew forth my pistol and I rattled my sabre
            F                        C           Am
    Saying "stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver"
 
    Chorus
 
          G
    Musha ringum duram da
    C
    Whack fol de daddy-o
    Am
    Whack fol de daddy-o
            C       G      C
    There's whiskey in the jar
 
    The shining yellow coins did sure look bright and jolly
    I took the money home and I gave it to my Molly
    She promised and she vowed that she never would deceive me
    But the devil's in the women for they never can be easy
 
    [chorus]
 
    When I awoke between the hours of six and seven
    Guards were standing 'round me in numbers odd and even
    I flew to my pistols, but alas I was mistaken
    I fired off my pistols and a prisoner was taken
 
    [chorus]
 
    They put me in jail without a judge or jury
    For robbing Colonel Pepper in the morning so early
    They didn't take my fist so I knocked down the sentry
    And I bid a long farewell to that cold penitentiary
 
    [chorus]
 
    Some take delight in fishing and bowling
    Others take delight in carriage a-rollin'
    I take delight in the juice of the barley
    Courting pretty women in the morning so early
 
    [chorus]
