[C]
As I went a-walkin' [Am] on Kilgarra Mountain, [F] I spied Colonel Papper [C] and his money [Am] he was [F] countin'.
I rattled out my [C] pistols and I drew [Am] forth my sabre, [F] try and stand and deliver, [C] for I [Am] am a bold [G] deceiver.
Mush a-ringin' down [C] down, whack all the dirty [F] out, whack all the dirty [C] out, there's whiskey in the jar.
With gold and silver [Am] coins, they looked so bright and [F] shiny, oh I took them one straight way [C] and I gave them [Am] to my Molly.
[F] She bowed and she [C] promised that she never would deceive me, [F] but the devil's in the ring when, [C] oh you never [Am] can believe,
Mush [G] a-ringin' down [C] down, whack all the dirty [Dm]
out, whack all the dirty [C] out, there's whiskey in the jar.
But when I a [Am]-walked between six and seven, [F] the guards were all [C] around me in numbers [Am] odd and even.
[F] I reached for my [C] pistols but alas [Am] I was mistaken, [F]
my pistols had been fired [C] and the prisoner [Am] I was taken.
[G] Mush a-ringin' down down, [C] whack all the dirty [F] out, [Dm] whack all the dirty [C] out, [G] there's [C] whiskey in the jar.
They put me in the jail [Am] with Palt Judge a-writin' [F] for robbin' Colonel [C] Pepper, oh I'm Kilgaren Mountain.
[F] But they didn't take my fist [C] so I knocked the sentry [Am] down [F] and barked farewell to the jail [C] in Shrive [Am] of Town.
[G] Mush a-ringin' down down, [C] whack all the dirty [F] out, whack all the dirty [C] out, [G] there's whiskey [C] in the jar.
Some people take delight in fishin' and in bowlin', [F] others take [C] delight in their carriages [Am] a [F]-rollin'.
But I take delight [C] in the juice of the barley [F] and caughtin' pretty girls [C] till the [Am] mornin'.
So I'll eat [G] mush a-ringin' down down, [C] whack all the dirty [F] out, whack all the dirty [G] out, there's whiskey [C] in the jar.
[G] Mush a-ringin' down down, [C] whack all the dirty [F] out, whack all the dirty [C] out, there's [Dm] whiskey [G] [C] in the jar.
