[B] [D]
As I was going [Bm] over the far-famed Kerry [G] mountains, I met with Popung Farall and [D] his money he was counting.
I first produced me pistol, [Bm] I then produced to me rapier, [G] Said, stand and deliver for [D] you are a bowl of semen, a [A] shrimp, a banana, a crab.
[D] Quack, quack, a daddy [G]-o, quack, quack, a daddy [D]-o, There's a ski in the jar.
Well, I counted out his money, and [Bm] it made a pretty penny, [G] I put it in me pocket and [D] I took it home to Jenny.
She sighed and she swore that [Bm] she'd never want to see me, [G] But the devil take the women [D] for they never can be easy.
[A] Ma-shab-di-ba-ba-di-ba-ba-da.
[D] Quack, quack, a daddy [G]-o, quack, quack, a daddy [D]-o, There's a ski in the jar.
I went unto my [Bm] chamber all for to take a slumber, [G] Dumped the gold and jewels and [D] for sure it was no wonder,
But Jenny drew me charges and [Bm] she filled them up with water, [G] Then sent for Captain Farall to [D] be ready for the slaughter.
[A] Ma-shab-di-ba-ba-di-ba-ba.
[D] Quack, quack, a daddy [G]-o, quack, quack, a daddy [D]-o, There's a ski in the jar.
It was early in the morning [Bm] just before I rose to travel, [G] Up comes a band of [D] footmen and likewise Captain Farall,
I first with his big pistol [Bm] for she'd stolen away the rapier, [G] I'd come to shoot the water [D] so a prisoner I was taken,
[A] A-shur-ing-a-ba-di-ba-ba [D]-da.
Quack, quack, a daddy [G]-o, quack, quack, a daddy [D]-o, There's a ski in the jar.
Now there's some take the [Bm] light and the carriages a-rolling, [G] Others take the [D] light in the hurry and the bowling,
But I take the [Bm] night in the juice of the barley, [G] And courting pretty [D] mermaids in the morning,
Where I can barely [A] ma-shur-ing-a-ba-di-ba-ba.
[D] Quack, quack, a daddy [G]-o, quack, quack, a daddy [D]-o, There's a ski in the jar.
And if anyone can aid me, [Bm] it's my brother at the army, [G] If I can find a station [D] in Belfast or in Killarney,
I'd let him go with me, [Bm] he'd go roaming in Kilkenny, [G] And I'm sure he'd treat me better than [D] my old mouse boarding Jenny.
A [A]-shur-ing-a-ba-di-ba-ba.
[D] Quack, quack, a daddy [G]-o, quack, quack, a daddy-o, [D] There's a ski in the jar.
A [A]-shur-ing-a-ba-di-ba-ba.
[D] Quack, quack, a daddy [G]-o, quack, quack, a daddy [D]-o, There's a ski in the jar.
