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
I said: Stand or 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 whisky 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 me,
never would she leave me
For the devil take that woman,
for you know she treat me easy
Mush a ring dum a doo dum a da,
Whack for my daddy'o,
whack for my daddy'o,
there's whisky in the jar o.
(Instrumental)
Now some men like the fishing
and some men like the fowling
And some men like to hear
the cannonball a roaring
Me-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 whisky in the jar o.
Like a drunk one with you
And I loved, I loved"
