Текст песни Whiskey in the Jar (Grateful Dead) с переводом

As I was a-goin' over Gilgarra mountains

I met Colonel Pepper and his money he was counting

I drew forth my pistol and I rattled my sabre

Saying «stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver»

Chorus

Musha ringum duram da

Whack-fall the daddy-o

Whack-fall the daddy-o

There’s whiskey in the jar

The shining yellow coins did sure look bright and jolly

I took the money home and I gave it to my Molly

She promised and she vowed that she never would deceive me

But the devil’s in the women for they never can be easy

free-lyrics

When I awoke between the hours of six and seven

Guards were standing 'round me in numbers odd and even

I flew to my pistols, but alas I was mistaken

I fired off my pistols and a prisoner was taken

They put me in jail without a judge or jury

For robbing Colonel Pepper in the morning so early

They didn’t take my fist so I knocked down the sentry

And I bid a long farewell to that cold penitentiary

Some take delight in fishing and bowling

Others take delight in carriage a-rollin'

I take delight in the juice of the barley

Courting pretty women in the morning so early
