L Y R I C S -
[Verse 1]
As I was goin' over
The Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell
And his money he was countin'

[Verse 2]
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 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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 6]
Being drunk and weary
I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' my money with me
And I never knew the danger

[Verse 7]
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 8]
Now some men like the fishin'
And some men like the fowlin',
And some men like ta hear
A cannon ball a roarin'

[Verse 9]
Me? I like sleepin'
Especially 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 loved my Molly-o
And cheerio Farrell
And I'll burn it down
That dirty ol' town
