    Traditional
    As I was going over the Cork and Kerry mountains
    I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
    I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
    I said "stand and deliver or the devil he may take you"

    I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
    I took all of his money, yeah, and I brought it home to Molly
    She swore that she loved me, no, never would she leave me
    But the devil take that woman, yeah, for you know she tricked me easy

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

    Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
    Taking Molly 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 I shot him with both barrels, yeah

    Musha rain dum-a-do-dum-a-da, yeah-yeah
    Whack for my daddy-o
    Whack for my daddy-o
    There's whiskey in the jar-o

    Now some men like the fishing and some men like the fowling
    And some men like to hear, to hear the cannonball a-roaring
    Me I like sleeping, especially in my Molly's chamber
    But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain

    Musha rain dum-a-do-dum-a-da, yeah-yeah
    Whack for my daddy-o
    Whack for my daddy-o
    There's whiskey in the jar-o

    Whiskey in the jar-o, yeah

    Musha rain dum-a-do-dum-a-da
    Musha rain dum-a-do-dum-a-da
    Musha rain dum-a-do-dum-a-da
    Musha rain dum-a-do-dum-a-da
