As I Gwas goin' over the Cork and EmKerry mountains
I sCaw Captain Farrell and his money he wasG countin'
I fGirst produced my pistol and then produceEmd my rapier
I said stCand and deliver or the devil he Gmay 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'd love me, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman for you know she treat me
easy
Musha ring Ddum a doo dum a da   C#        C 
CWhack for my daddy-o
CWhack for my daddy-o
CThere's whGiskey in the jar-o

Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' my money 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

Now some
like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'
And some men like ta hear a 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 doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
