Intro

Verse

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”

Verse

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 loved me - No, never would she leave me

But the devil take that woman - Yeah, for you know she tricked me easy

Chorus

Musha rain dum-a-do dum-a-da

Whack for my daddy-o

There`s whiskey in the jar-o

Verse

Being drunk and weary - I went to Molly`s chamber

Taking Molly with me - But I never knew the danger

For about six or maybe seven - Yeah, in walked Captain Farrell

I jumped up, fired my pistols - And I shot him with both barrels

Chorus

Musha rain dum-a-do dum-a-da

Whack for my daddy-o

There`s whiskey in the jar-o

Verse

Now some men like the fishing - And some men like the fowling

And some men like to hear - To hear the cannonball a-roaring

Me, I like sleeping - Especially in my Molly`s chamber

But here I am in prison - Here I am with a ball and chain, yeah

Chorus

Musha rain dum-a-do dum-a-da

Whack for my daddy-o

There`s whiskey in the jar-o, yeah

Outro

Musha rain dum-a-do dum-a-da
