As I was goin´ over the Cook and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell, 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 ya

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, no never would she leave me
But devil take that woman for you know she tricked me
easy

Musha raim dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There´s whiskey in the jar-o

Being drunk and weary, I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' Molly with me, but I never knew the danger
For about six, maybe seven, yeah in walked Captian Farrell
I jumped up with my pistols, and I shot him with both barrells

Musha raim dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

Yeah, oh
Yeah, oh

Now some men like the fishin´and some man like the fowlin´
And some man like ta hear, ta hear cannon ball a roarin´
Me I like sleepin´specially in my Molly´s chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah

Musha raim dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There´s whiskey in the jar-o
