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 and deliver, Or the devil he may take ya Musha ring dum a doo dum a da, Whack for my daddyo, Whack for my daddyoo, There´s whiskey in the jaro. 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 ´Cause you know she tricked me easy. Musha ring dum a doo dum a da, Whack for my daddyo, Whack for my daddyoo, There´s whiskey in the jaro. 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 dum a doo dum a da, Whack for my daddyo, Whack for my daddyoo, There´s whiskey in the jaro. 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. Musha ring dum a doo dum a da, Whack for my daddyo, Whack for my daddyoo, There´s whiskey in the jaro.
