Whiskey In The Jar

(originally by the band - Thin Lizzy)

As I was going over
The Cork and Kerry Mountains
I saw the Captain Farrell
And his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol
I then produced my rapier
I said, "Stand and deliver, or the devil he may take ya!"

I took all of his money
It was a pretty penny
I took all of his money 
Yeah and brought it home to Molly
She swore that she'd love me
No never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman
For you know she tricked me easy

*CHORUS* 

Mush-a rain dum-a-do dum-a-da
Whack fo' my daddy-o
Whack fo' my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

Being drunk and weary
I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' my money 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 shot him with both barrels

*CHORUS*

Now some men like the fishin'
And some men like the fowlin'
Some men like to hear
To hear the cannon ball roarin'
But me, I like sleepin'
Especially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison
Hee I am in ball and chain
Yeah Yeah

*CHORUS*

Whiskey in the jar-o
(repeated)  Yeah Mush-a rain dum-a-do dum-a-da
