| | | As I was a goin' over Kilgary mountain I spied Bill Pepper and his money he was countin´ First I drew my pistols,  and then I drew my saber  Sayin´ "Stand and deliver, for I am the bold deceiver" Musha rig-um durum da durum   Wack fol the daddy-o   Wack fol the daddy-o There´s whiskey in the jar                               I counted up my money, I added up a pretty penny Push it in my pocket and I took it home to my Molly She promised then, She vowed, she never would deceive me But the devil's in the women for they never can be easy  Musha rig-um durum da durum   Wack fol the daddy-o   Wack fol the daddy-o There´s whiskey in the jar                               Well when I awoke between the hours of six and seven The guards were standing on my bed in numbers odd and even I reach for my pistols but I saw it was mistaken I fired off my pitols so a prisoner I was taken Musha rig-um durum da durum   Wack fol the daddy-o   Wack fol the daddy-o There´s whiskey in the jar                               They through me into jail without judge or writin´ For robbing Bill Pepper on that Kilgary Mountain Ha but they didn't take my fists so I knocked that sentry down Bid along farewell to this little stable town  Musha rig-um durum da durum   Wack fol the daddy-o   Wack fol the daddy-o There´s whiskey in the jar                               There's some take delight in fisherman and a farmer Others take delight in their carriages a-rollin´ But I take delight in the juice of the barley And courting' pretty maidens in the morning ha! so early Musha rig-um durum da durum   Wack fol the daddy-o   Wack fol the daddy-o There´s whiskey in the jar Musha rig-um durum da durum   Wack fol the daddy-o   Wack fol the daddy-o There´s whiskey in the jar

La chanson relate les aventures d'un homme qui, en traversant une montagne, aperçoit un homme nommé Bill Pepper en train de compter son argent. Dans un acte de bravoure, il dégaine ses armes et tente de le dépouiller, se voyant en héros. Cependant, son bonheur est de courte durée, car il est trahi par une femme, son amante Molly, qui ne tiendra pas ses promesses. Après s'être réveillé en prison, il réalise qu'il a été capturé à cause de ses actions. Malgré tout, il garde un esprit téméraire et rêve des plaisirs simples de la vie, comme les délices du whiskey et des belles rencontres. Le contexte de cette chanson est ancré dans la culture irlandaise et évoque l'esprit de rébellion et de romance qui caractérise souvent les chants populaires. Elle reflète également les luttes et les aspirations d'un homme face aux aléas de la vie, le tout agrémenté d'un fond de folklore et d'humour.
