As I was goin' over the Cook
and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell, 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 and I brought
it home to Molly
She swore that she'd love me, no never
would she leave me
But devil take that woman for you know
she tricked me easy
Musha raim 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' Molly with me, but I never
knew the danger
For about six, maybe seven,
yeah in walked Captian Farrell
I jumped up with my pistols, and I shot
him with both barrells
Musha raim dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Yeah, oh

Now some men like the fishin'and
some man like the fowlin'
And some man like to hear,
to 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
