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-o and deliver or the devil he may take ya
D
chorus: 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
main riff:
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:
solo: | G F Em |

verse
chorus
main riff
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:
main riff:
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' specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah
chorus:
Then | Em | G | ad libitum, fading out
