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, then produced my rapier
I said, "Stand and deliver, or the devil, he may take you"
Mush-a ring, dum-a-doo-dum-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Oh, I took all of his money, and it was a pretty penny
Well, I took all of his money, and I brought it home to Molly
And she swore that she'd love me, and never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman, oh, for you know she tricked me easy
Mush-a ring, dum-a-doo-dum-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
There's some men like the fishing, some men like the fowling
Some men like to hear the cannonball a-roaring
Me, I like sleeping, 'specially in my Molly's 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
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Oh, I know, I know, I know
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Oh-oh
