As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
|
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'
|
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
|
I said, "Stand and deliver, or the devil he may take you!"
|
|
Musha ring dum a doo dam a da
|
Whack for my daddy-o
|
Whack for my daddy-o
|
There's whiskey in the jar-o
|
|
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
|
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly
|
She swore that she'd love me, never would she leave me
|
But the devil take that woman, for you know she tricked me easy
|
|
Musha ring dum a doo dam a da
|
Whack for my daddy-o
|
Whack for my daddy-o
|
There's whiskey in the jar-o
|
|
Being drunk and weary, I went to Molly's chamber
|
Takin' my Molly with me and I never knew the danger
|
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
|
I jumped up, fired off my pistols, and I shot him with both barrels
|
|
Musha ring dum a do dam a da
|
Whack for my daddy-o
|
Whack for my daddy-o
|
There's whiskey in the jar-o
|
|
Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'
|
And some men like to hear the cannon ball a-roarin'
|
Me, I like sleepin', 'specially in my Molly's chamber
|
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah
|
|
Musha ring dum a do dam a da
|
Whack for my daddy-o
|
Whack for my daddy-o
|
There's whiskey in the jar-o
