As I was goin' over
The Cork and Kerry Mountains
I met with Captain Farrell
And his money he was countin'
I first produced my pistol
And then produced my rapier
Saying stand and deliver I am a bold deceiver
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
I counted out his money made a pretty penny
I put it in my pocket and I take it home to Jenny
And she said and she swore she never would deceive me
The devil take the women for they never can be easy
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
It was early in the morning before I rose to travel
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrel
While I first produced my pistol she stole away my rapier
Couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
Some men take delight in the fishing and the fowling
But others take delight in the carriage wheels a rolling
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
Courting pretty women in the mountain bright and early
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy 'ol
Whack for the daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
