Yup picked that up from the rest of the thread...Still think ' sea man ' made for a nifty version...ah well

So I counted out his money an' it made a pretty penny
I put it in me pocket an' I took it home ta Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she never would decieve me
But the devil take th' women for they never can be aisy (easy)

mush-a-ring dom-a-doo dom-a-di
White fall the derry-o
White fall the derry-o
There's-a whisky in th' jar


I went unto my chambers all for t' take a slumber
I dreamt of gold an' jewels an' for sure i'twas no wonder
But Jenny drew me charges an' she filled 'em up with water
Then sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for th' slaughter

mush-a-ring dom-a-doo dom-a-di etc.

'Twas early in the mornin' just before I rose t'travel
Up comes a band o' footmen and likeways Captain Farrel
I first produced me pistol for she'd stolen away me rapier
But I couldna shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken

mush-a-ring dom-a-doo dom-a-di etc.

Now there's some takes delight in the carriages a'rollin'
And other take delight in th' hurley an' the bowlin'
But I take delight in the juice o' the barely
An' courtin' pretty fair maids o' a mornin' bright an' early

mush a ring dom a doo dom a di

If anyone can aid me 'tis me brother in the army
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarny
And if he'll go with me, we'll go rollin' in Kilkenny
An' I'm sure he'll treat me better than me only sportin' Jenny

Mush a ring dom a doo dom a di


*sigh* I do love singin' me Irish music...I believe this is the Dubliners version
