As I was goinґ over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell, his money he was countinґ
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya

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 sheґd love me, no never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy

Mush-a rain dum a do dum a da
Wept for my daddy-o
Wept for my daddy-o
Thereґs whiskey in the jar-o

Being [bad word] and weary, I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' my Molly with me, but I never knew the danger
For about six, maybe seven, yeah in walked Captian Farrell
I jumped up fired my pistols, and I shot him with both barrells

Mush-a ring dum a doo dum a da
Wept for my daddy-o
Wept for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

Yeah, Whiskey, oh
Yeah
oh-ho, yeah, oh

Now some men like the fishinґand some man like the foulinґ
And some men like ta hear, ta hear cannon ball roarinґ
Me I like sleepinґspecially in my Mollyґs chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah

Mush-a ring dum a doo dum a da
Wept for my daddy-o
Wept for my daddy-o
Thereґs whiskey in the jar-o
Yeah

Whiskey in the jar-o

Mush-a ring dum a doo dum a da (x4)
