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

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

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

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

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 dumb a do dumb a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There´s whiskey in the jar-o

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

Oh, 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

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
