As [G]I was goin' over the [Em]Cork and Kerry mountains
I [C]saw Captain Farrell and his [G]money he was countin',
I [G]first produced my pistol and [Em]then produced my rapier,
I [C]said “Stand and deliver or the [G]devil he may take ya.”
{soc}
Musha [D]ring dum-a doo dum-a da! [G]Whack for my daddy-o
[C]whack for my daddy-o, there’s [G]whiskey [D]in the [G]jar.
{eoc}
I [G]took all of his money and it [Em]was a pretty penny
I [C]put it in my pocket and I [G]brought it home to Molly,
She [G]swore that she'd love me, [Em]never would she leave me,
But the [C]devil take that woman for you [G]know she tricked me easy.

#Musha [D]ring dum-a doo dum-a da! [G]Whack for my daddy-o
#[C]whack for my daddy-o, there’s [G]whiskey [D]in the [G]jar.
#{eoc}
B[G]eing drunk and weary I [Em]went to Molly's chamber
Ta[C]kin' my money with me and I [G]never knew the danger
For [G]about six or maybe seven [Em]in walked Captain Farrell
I [C]jumped up, fired off my pistols and I [G]shot him with both barrels
{c: chorus}

Now [G]some men like the fishin' and [Em]some men like the fowlin'
And [C]some men like ta hear a [G]cannonball a-roarin'
[G]Me I like sleepin' [Em]specially in my Molly's chamber
But [C]here I am in prison, here I [G]am with ball and chain, yeah
