Текст песни Jenny's Story (The Merry Wives of Windsor) с переводом

When I was a young lass

I met me strapping Johnny

He was tall and he was handsome

And I looked upon him fondly

He started his pursuing

And soon we were a’courting

And when springtime was’a fading

A gold ring I was a’sporting

Lish-a ring-um a -ding-um a dah

Wack fall the daddy-o

Wack fall the daddy-o

There’s whiskey in the jar

A year we were betrothed

The wedding plans were started

Come hell or come high water

I knew we would not be parted

But then we were a-married

And I started to grievin'

Because me handsome Johnny

Had turned to a life of thieving

Lish-a ring-um a -ding-um a dah

Wack fall the daddy-o

Wack fall the daddy-o

There’s whiskey in the jar

He’d travel out for fortnights

Gathering up his booty

But I stood beside me husband

For it was me solemn duty

For years I was’a hopin'

His ways ways would be ammended

That he would be an honest man

Before his life was ended

Lish-a ring-um a -ding-um a dah

Wack fall the daddy-o

Wack fall the daddy-o

There’s whiskey in the jar

One day the Captain Farrell

On my door he came a’rappin'

He said he’d kill my husband

Lest I did agree to trap him

So I waited until midnight

When me Johnny was a’sleepin'

And I got up in my bed clothes

Through the house i was a’creepin'

Lish-a ring-um a -ding-um a dah

Wack fall the daddy-o

Wack fall the daddy-o

There’s whiskey in the jar

I saw him off that morning

The deception I did cover

And I bid me Johnny farewell

For me heart still called him lover

They captured my poor Johnny

And now he lies in prison

And he say my name in curses

But at least me husband’s livin'

Lish-a ring-um a -ding-um a dah

Wack fall the daddy-o

Wack fall the daddy-o

There’s whiskey in the jar

Lish-a ring-um a -ding-um a dah

Wack fall the daddy-o

Wack fall the daddy-o

There’s whiskey in the jar
