Whiskey In The Jar

As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains / I met Captain Farrell and his money he

was countin' / I first produced my pistol and then produced my wager / I said stand and

deliver or the devil he may take ya / Oh ring dum a doo dum a da / Wept for my daddy-o /

Wept for my daddy-o / There's 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

she'd love me, never would she leave me / But the devil take that woman 'cos you know she

treats me easy / Oh ring dum a doo dum a da / Wept for my daddy-o / Wept for my daddy-o /

There's whiskey in the jar-o / Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber / I lay

down on the bed and I never knew the danger / For about six or maybe seven in walked

Captain Farrell / I jumped up, grabbed hold of my pistols and I shot him with both barrels

/ Oh ring dum a doo dum a da / Wept for my daddy-o / Wept for my daddy-o / There's whiskey

in the jar-o / Now some men like fishin' and some men like a fowlin' / And some men like

ta hear a cannon ball a rollin' / 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 / Oh ring dum a doo dum a da /

Wept for my daddy-o / Wept for my daddy-o / There's whiskey in the jar-o / Ahlalalala,

lalala.....
