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 then produced my rapier
stand and deliver
or the devil he may take you
Musha ring dum
a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy o
Whack for my daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar
I took all of his money
and it was pretty penny
I took all of his money
and I brought
it home to Molly
She swore that she'd love me
and never would she leave me
devil take that woman
for you know
she treat me easy
Musha ring dum
a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy o
Whack for my daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar
Being drunk and weary
I went to Molly's chamber
Taking Molly with me
but I never knew the danger
For six or maybe seven
in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up
fired my pistols
and I shot him
with both barrels
Musha ring dum
a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy o
Whack for my daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar
Now some men like
the fishing
and some men like
the fowling
some men like to hear
to hearing cannon ball
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
Musha ring dum
a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy o
Whack for my daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar o
