Whiskey in the Jar

TRADITIONAL (PD), DAN KENNEDY, LIAM HARRIS

As I was going over the Cork and Kerry Mountains
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
Saying ""Stand and deliver, or the devil he may take ya""

I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Molly
She swore that she loved me, no, never would she leave me
But the devil take that women for you know she tricked me easy

Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

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, in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired my pistols and I shot him with both barrels

Now some men like the fishin', and some men like the fowlin'
Some men like to hear, to hear the cannonball roarin'
Me, I like sleeping,'specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah
