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 you
Musha ring dum a doo dam 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
Never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman
For you know she tricked me easy
Musha ring dum a doo dam 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' my Molly with me and I
never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven in
walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistols, and
I shot him with both barrels
Mush- a ring, dum- a doo- dam- a- da
Whack for my daddy- o
Whack for my daddy- o
There's whiskey in the jar- o
Now
some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'
And some men like to hear the cannon ball a- roarin'
And 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 doo- dam- a- da
Whack for my daddy- o
Whack for my daddy- o
There's whiskey in the jar- o
And
I got drun on whiskey
And I loved, I loved, I loved, I loved my Molly
And you know I will never
But I will burn it down, I'll burn it all down
