| 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 o'er and deliver or the devil he may take ya
|
| Musha ring dumb a do dumb 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'd love me, never would she leave me
|
| But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy
|
| Musha ring dumb a do dumb 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 dumb a do dumb 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 a 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
|
| Oh, musha ring dumb a do dumb a da
|
| Whack for my daddy-o
|
| Whack for my daddy-o
|
| There's whiskey in the jar-o
|
| Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da
|
| Whack for my daddy-o
|
| Whack for my daddy-o
|
| There's whiskey in the jar-o |
