Lyrics

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 And I got drunk on whiskey And I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love my Molly I shot him with both barrel But I don't deserve the time, don't deserve that time
