[G]
[D] As I was going [Bm] over the far-famed Kerry Mountains, [G] I met with Captain Farrell and [D] his money he was counting.
At first we used my pistol [Bm] and I then produced my raker,
[G] Same stand and deliver for [D] you are a bold deceiver, my [A] shirr.
In da ma do da ma [D] da, quack all the daddy [G]-o's, quack all the daddy [D]-o's,
There's a ski in the jar.
I counted out his money [Bm] and it made a pretty penny,
[G] I put it in me pocket [D] and I took it home to Jenny.
She sighed and she swore [Bm] that she never would deceive me,
[G] But the flivel take the women [D] for they never can be easy, my shirr.
[A] In da ma do da ma da, [D] quack all the daddy [G]-o's, quack all the daddy [D]-o's,
There's a ski in the jar.
I went on to my [Bm] chamber all four to take a slumber,
[G] I dumped the golden jewels [D] and for sure it was no wonder,
But Jenny drew me charges [Bm] and she filled them up with water,
[G] Then sent for Captain Farrell to be [D] ready for a slaughter, [A] my shirr.
In da ma do da ma da, [D] quack all the daddy [G]-o's, quack all the daddy [D]-o's,
There's a ski in the jar.
It was early in the morning just [Bm] before I rose to travel,
[G] Up comes a man with a footman [D] and likewise Captain Farrell,
I first produced three pistols [Bm] before she'd stolen away me rager,
[G] I couldn't shoot the water so [D] a prisoner I was taken, my [A] shirr.
In da ma do da ma da, [D] quack all the daddy-o's, [G] quack all the daddy [D]-o's,
There's a ski in the jar.
And if anyone can aid me, [Bm] it is my brother in the army,
[G] If I can find a station [D] in Cork or in Killarney,
And if he'll go with me, we'll [Bm] go roaming in to Kenny,
And [G] I'm sure he'd treat me better than [D] my own my sporting Jenny,
My [F#m] shirr.
In da ma do da ma da, [D] quack all the daddy [G]-o's, quack all the daddy [D]-o's,
There's a ski in the jar.
In da ma [A] shirr.
In da ma do da ma da, [D] quack all the daddy [G]-o's, quack all the [D] daddy-o's,
There's a ski in the jar.
