Whiskey In The Jar

1. 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 ya.

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 loved me, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman, yeah for you know she tricked me easy.

[Chorus:]
Musha ring dum a do dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o.

2. Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' money with me and I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven, yeah in walks Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired my pistols and I shot him with both barrels.

3. Now some men like the fishin' some men like the fowlin'
Some men like ta hear, ta hear the cannon ball a roarin'
Me? I like sleepin' especially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with ball and chain, yeah.

[Coda:]
Whiskey in the jar-o
Musha ring dum a do dum a da
Musha ring dum a do dum a da hey
Musha ring dum a do dum a da
Musha ring dum a do dum a da hey.
