Another Whiskey In The Jar - New lyrics from the point of view of a Scottish Highland woman:
Another
Whisky In The Jar

As I was going over the rebel Highland Mountains I met with fat Lord Lennox
And his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol
And then produced my claidheamh
Saying “Stand and deliver, or I’ll surely take your life!”

Mush-a-ring, ah-ma-door, um-ah-dah
Whack for the daddy-oh
Whack for the daddy-oh there’s whisky in the jar!
I counted out my money
And it was a pretty penny
I put it in my spurren
And I brought it home to Danny
He swore he’s always love me
And never would deceive me
Aut the devil take that laddy
For you know he tricked me easy

Mush-a-ring, ah-ma-door, um-ah-dah …
I fell into my chamber
Weary for the slumber
I dreamt of gold and silver
And more treasure for the plunder
But Danny took my charges
And he filled them up with water
And he sent for fat Lord Lennox
To be ready for the slaughter

Mush-a-ring, ah-ma-door, um-ah-dah …
It was early the next morning
When I woke to see the cut-throats
Surrounded by Lord Lennox
And a squadron of the red-coats
I went for my old pistol
For they’d taken my old claidheamh
But I couldn’t shoot the water
So they locked me up for life

Mush-a-ring, ah-ma-door, um-ah-dah …
You may think of me a traitor
For selling out my lassie
And I will surely miss her
But the loneliness will pass me
As I’ve fallen for another
I promised we could marry
If her father gave me land
And all the silver I could carry

Mush-a-ring, ah-ma-door, um-ah-dah …
Some women they like singing
And some like Highland dancing
Some women get a thrill
Out of courting and romancing
So choose your lover wisely
And take them with my warning
Before you wake up captured
By the red-coats in the morning

Mush-a-ring, ah-ma-door, um-ah-dah …
