Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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". [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] And I got drunk on whiskey-o And I loved, I loved, I loved I loved, I loved, I love my Molly-o
