[Verse 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 o'er and deliver, or the Devil, he may take you
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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 off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Now, some men like the fishin', and some men like the fowlin'
And some men like to hear the cannonball a-rollin'
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
And I got drunk on whiskey-o
And I loved, I loved, I loved, I loved, I loved, I loved my Molly-o
And she wheeled a wheelbarrow
But I don't deserve the time, I heard it all the time
