"Whiskey In The Jar" lyrics

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, then produced my rapier
I said, "Stand and deliver or the devil—he may take ya!"

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

Oh, I took all of his money, and it was a pretty penny
Well, I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly
And she swore that she'd love me, no never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman, oh, 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

Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'
And some men like to hear the cannon ball a-roarin'
Me? I like sleepin', especially 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

There's whiskey in the jar-o
Oh, oh
