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; I then produced my rapier
I said Stand and deliver, or the devil he may take you
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
For the devil take that woman, for you know she tricked me easy
Mosh-a-da rain dum-a-do dum-a-da
Whack fo` my daddy-o
Whack fo` my daddy-o
There`s whiskey in the jar-o
Bein` 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 my pistols, and I shot him with both barrels
Mosh-a-da rain dum-a-do dum-a-da
Whack fo` my daddy-o
Whack fo` my daddy-o
There`s whiskey in the jar-o
Now some men like a-fishin`, and some men like a-fowlin`(?)
And some men like to hear, to hear the cannonball a-roarin`
But 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
Mosh-a-da rain dum-a-do dum-a-da
Whack fo` my daddy-o
Whack fo` my daddy-o
There`s whiskey in the jar-o
Mosh-a rain dum-a-do dum-a-da(4x)
