My Baby's In The Jar

by Eric Oppen

ttto Whiskey In The Jar


As I was riding over
The high Dendarii mountains,
I had Sergeant Bothari,
On his help we were countin',
My husband and his father,
And young Emperor Gregor,
I'd gone in a few hours
>From a Lady to a beggar,
And it's
Whack for the dairy-o,
Whack for the dairy-o,
My baby's in a jar!

It started just that morning,
At Vorkosigan Surleau,
I wasn't quite in mourning,
But  I was feeling sure low,
When Negri came in flying,
With Gregor there beside him,
His last words, to me, dying,
Were "Take this boy and hide him,"
And it's
Whack for the dairy-o,
Whack for the dairy-o,
My baby's in a jar!

We fled the scene on horseback,
And lost them in the hills there,
Decoyed them down a cavern
Just the thought gives me the chills there,
Gregor stayed with a family,
My man and I united, 
But when I heard what he knew
I was terribly affrighted,
And it's
Whack for the dairy-o,
Whack for the dairy-o,
My baby's in a jar!
