^CAs I was goin’ over the ^AmiCork and Kerry mountains

^FI saw Captain Farrell and his ^Cmoney he was countin’

I first produced my pistol and then ^Amiproduced my rapier

I said ^Fstand and deliver or ^Cthe devil he may take ya



R: Musha ^Gring dum a doo dum a da

^FWhack for my daddy-o

^CWhack for my daddy-o

There’s whiskey in the ^Gjar-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 for you know she treat me easy

R:



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

R:



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
