As I was going 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 and deliver
Or the devil he may take you
Musha ring da da du da ma 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
Never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman
For you know she tricked me easy
Musha ring-a da du da ma da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Some men like a fishing
And some men like a fighting
And some men like to hear
A cannonball roaring
Me, I like sleeping
Especially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison
Here I am with a ball and chain, yeah
Musha ring-a da du da ma da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
And I got drunk on whiskey
