As I was going over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
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 prettypenny
I took all of his money yeah 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 treat 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
Taking 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 fishing and some men like the fowling
And some men like ta hear, ta hear cannon ball a roaring
Me I like sleeping 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
