Whiskey In The Jar歌词

As I was going over the Cork & 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 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-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, and never would she leave me

But the 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-o

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 off 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-o

Now some men like the fishing and some men like the fowling

And some men like to hear, to hearing a 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
