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 and deliver or the devil he may take ya |
|
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny |
|
I took all of his money yeah and I brought it home to Molly |
|
She swore that she'd love me, no never would she leave me |
|
But the devil take that woman yeah for you know she tricked me easy |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin' |
|
And some men like ta hear, ta hear 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 |
|
Whiskey in the jar-o |
|
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da |
