WHISKEY IN THE JAR

When 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 I produced my rapier
I said stand o'er - deliver or the devil he may take you

Mush a ring dum a do dum a da
Whack for the daddy-o'er
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 - oh you know she's never easy

Mush a ring dum a do dum a da
Whack for the daddy-o'er
There's whiskey in the jar-o

Bein' drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' my Molly with me and I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven in walked captain Farrell
I jumped up and fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels

Mush a ring dum a do dum a da
Whack for the daddy-o'er
There's whiskey in the jar-o

Now, some men like the fishing, some men like the fowling
And some men like to hear the cannon ball a'roaring
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

Mush a ring dum a do dum a da
Whack for the daddy-o'er
There's whiskey in the jar-o

Mush a ring dum a do dum a da
Whack for the daddy-o'er
There's whiskey in the jar-o

Mush a ring dum a do dum a daan
