As I was going over the Cork & 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 you
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
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, and 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 Molly with me but I never knew the danger
For 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 to hear, to hearing a 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
