   D
As I was goin´ over
     Bm
The Cook and Kerry mountains
   G
I saw the Captain Farrell
     D
His money he was countin´
   D
I first produced my pistol
     Bm
And then produced my rapier
      G
I said stand and deliver
        D
Or the devil he may take ya

Chorus:
       A
Musha rain dumb'a dumb'a dumb dah
G
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
      D
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 treat me easy

Chorus

And some men like the fishing,
some men like the fowling
Some men like to hear a cannon ball a-roaring
But me, I like sleeping,
especially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here
I am with a ball and change

Chorus:
Dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
