G Em As I was goin' over, the Cork and Kerry mountains C G I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin G Em I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier C G I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya Chorus: D Musha ring dum a doo dum a da C Whack for my daddy-o Whack for my daddy-o G 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 Chorus Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber Takin' my money 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 Chorus Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin' And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a roarin' Me? I like sleepin' especially in my Molly's chamber But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah Chorus And I got drunk on whiskey-o And I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love my Molly-o | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsC D Em G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
