Lyrics

I was a goin' over Cross the Kerry mountains I spied Captain Farrell and his money he was counting I first produced my pistol Then produced my rapier and said "Stand and deliver or the devil he will take you" Musha ring dumma do damma da Whack for my daddy-o Whack for my daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar-o I took a lot of his money And it was a pretty penny I took a lot of his money And I brought it home to Molly She swore that she would love me Never would she leave me But the devil take that woman 'Cause she knew she tricked me easy Musha ring dumma do damma da Whack for my daddy-o Whack for my daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar-o Feelin' drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber Takin' my money with me And I never knew the danger About six, half six or maybe seven In walked Captain Farrell I jumped up and fired both pistols And I shot him with both barrels Musha ring dumma do damma da Whack for my daddy-o Whack for my daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar-o Some like the fishin' Some like the fowlin' Some like to hear A cannonball a-rollin' But me I like the sleepin' 'Specially in my Molly's chamber Here I am in prison Here I am in a ball and chain Musha ring dumma do damma da Whack for my daddy-o Whack for my daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar-o I got drunk on whiskey I got drunk on gin On schnapps and vodka And hot shots and Lucozade And bread fake and orange Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
