Kalish in the Jar

Tune: Whiskey in the Jar

As I was going over the far-famed Highpass mountains
I met with Captain Orben and his money he was counting.
I first produced my short bow, and I then produced my rapier.
Saying, "Stand and deliver! for you are a bold deceiver."

Chorus:
musha ring dumma do damma da
whack for the daddy oh
whack for the daddy oh
there's kalish in the jar

I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny.
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Tenni.
She sighed and she swore, that she never would deceive me,
But the devil take the women, for they never can be easy.

Chorus

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 Tenni took my arrows and she soaked them all in water,
Then sent for Captain Orben to be ready for the slaughter.

Chorus

Tenni's side was empty when I woke up in the morning,
But the guards were all around me and likewise Captain Orben.
I first produced my short bow, for she stole away my rapier,
But I couldn't use the arrows so a prisoner I was taken.

Chorus

If anyone can save me, it's my guildmate and his minstrel,
If I can get a note to him in Guk or in Miragul's.
And if he'll come and join me, we'll go roving in Qinimi,
And I swear he'll treat me better than me only sportling Tenni.
