Whiskey In The Jar The Dubliners; Thin Lizzy; many others 1850 | (Double M 377) Jim Kline |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
*As I was going over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
Saying, "Stand and deliver for I am a bold deceiver."
The girls promenade, once inside that ring
Get back home swing, promenade I sing
Mush a ring dum a doo dum a da, (Clap, clap, clap) Whack for the daddy-o, (Clap, clap)
Whack for the daddy-o, There's whiskey in the jar
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder
But Jenny drew my charges, and she filled them up with water
Then sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter
*T'was early in the morning, just before I rose up to travel
The guards were all around me and likewise Captain Farrell
I first produced my pistol, for she stole away my rapier
But I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Head two couples promenade halfway 'round that ring
Come down the middle square thru, 4 hands 'round I sing
Go all the way and then, do a right & left thru
Pass thru, trade by, touch 1/4, too
Scoot back and then scoot back again
Star thru and promenade back home
Mush a ring dum a doo dum a da, (Clap, clap, clap) Whack for the daddy-o, (Clap, clap)
Whack for the daddy-o (Clap, clap) There's whiskey in the jar
TAG
Mush a ring dum a doo dum a da, (Clap, clap, clap)
Whack for the daddy-o, (Clap, clap)
Whack for the daddy-o, There's whiskey in the jar
Contains a "blended" movement: Scoot Back followed by Star Thru.
