 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

 Musha ring dum a doo dum a da

Whack for my daddy-o

Whack for my daddy-o

 Theres 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 shed love me, never would she leave me

 But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy

Chorus

Solo

 Being drunk and weary I went to mollys 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 specially in my mollys chamber

 But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah
