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

 Musha ring dum a do dum a da.
 Wack for my daddy-o, 
 Wack 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 loved me never would she leave me
 But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy

 [bad word] 
 Being [bad word] and weary I went to Molly’s chamber takin’ my Molly 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.

 [bad word] 
 Now some men like the fishin’ and some men like the fowlin',
 and some men like ta hear, the cannon ball a roarin'.
 Me? I like sleepin' especially in my Molly's chamber.
 But here I am in prison, here I am with ball and chain, yeah.
