Lyrics

• 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"

• I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny

• I took all of his money, yeah

• And I brought it home to Molly

• She swore that she loved me, no

• Never would she leave me

• But the devil take that woman, yeah

• For you know she tricked me easy

• Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da

• Whack for my daddy, oh

• Whack for my daddy, oh

• There's whiskey in the jar, oh

• Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber

• Takin' Molly with me but I never knew the danger

• For about six or maybe seven, yeah

• In walked Captain Farrell

• I jumped up

• Fired my pistols and I shot him with both barrels

• Yeah, musha rain dum a doo, dum a da, ha, yeah

• Whack for my daddy, oh

• Whack for my daddy, oh

• There's whiskey in the jar, oh

• Yeah, whiskey, yo, whiskey

• Oh, oh, yeah

• Oh, oh, yeah

• Now some men like a fishin' but some men like the fowlin'

• Some men like to hear

• To hear the cannonball roarin'

• But 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 rain dum a doo, dum a da, heh, heh

• Whack for my daddy, oh

• Whack for my daddy, oh

• There's whiskey in the jar, oh, yeah

• Whiskey in the jar, oh

• Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da

• Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da, hey

• Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da

• Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da, yeah
