As I was a goin' over cork and kerry mountains

I saw captain farrell and his money he was counting

I first produced my pistol then produced my rapier

I said stand or deliver or the devil he may take you

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da

Whack for my daddy-o whack for my daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar-o

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 women

For she knows she treat me easy

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da

Whack for my daddy-o whack for my daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar-o

Round about six or maybe seven in walked captain farrell

I jumped up fired off my pistol

And I shot him with both barrels

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da

Whack for my daddy-o whack for my daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar-o

Some men like the fishin some men like the fowlin

Some men like to hear the cannon ball a-rollin

Me I like sleepin'

Specially in my molly's chamber

Here I am in prison

Here I am on the ball and chain yeah

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da

Whack for my daddy-o whack for my daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar-o

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da

Whack for my daddy-o whack for my daddy-o

There's whiskey in the jar-o
