As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and 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

Musha ring dumma do damma da
Wack for my daddy-o
Wack 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, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman, for you know she tricked me easy

Musha ring dumma do damma da
Wack for my daddy-o
Wack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

Some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'
And some men like to hear the cannon ball 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 ring dumma do damma da
Wack for my daddy-o
Wack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
