Lyrics of Whiskey In The Jar by Jerry Garcia,David Grisman
As I was a-goin′ over Gilgarra mountains
I met Colonel Pepper and his money he was counting
I drew forth my pistol and I rattled my sabre
Saying "stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver"
Musha ringum duram da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
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
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
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
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
Writer(s): Mickey Hart, Leo Vincent Welnick, Bill Kreutzmann, Philip Lesh, Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir
