As I was going 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"
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-doo 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
Takin' my Molly with me, but I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired my pistols, and I shot him with both barrels
Musha rain dum-a-doo dum-a-da, ha, ya
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Yeah, whiskey, yo, whiskey...
Oh-oh, ya
[SOLO]
Now some men like a fishin', but some men like the fowlin'
Some men like to hear, to hear the cannonball a-roarin'
But 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
Musha rain dum-a-doo dum-a-da, ha, ya
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Whiskey in the jar-o
Musha rain dum-a-doo dum-a-da
Musha rain dum-a-doo dum-a-da, hey
Musha rain dum-a-doo dum-a-da
Musha rain dum-a-doo dum-a-da, ya
Mientras iba por
Las montañas Cork y Kerry
Ví al Capitán Farrell
Su dinero estaba contando
Primero saqué mi pistola
Y luego saqué mi espadín
Dije "la bolsa o la vida,
O el diablo puede llevarte"
Tomé todo su dinero
Y era un dineral
Tomé todo su dinero
E hice que Molly se diera cuenta
Ella juró que me amaría
Que nunca me dajaría
Pero que el diablo se lleve a esa mujer
Porque sabes que me engaño fácil
Estribillo:
Interferencias dam a du dam a da
Una golpe para mi papá-o
Una golpe para mi papá-o
Hay whiskey en el frasco-o
Estando borracho y cansado
Fui al dormitorio de Molly
Llevando a Molly conmigo
No conocía el peligro
Parque a eso de las seis o tal vez las siete
Entró el Capitán Farrell
Me levante de un salto, disparé mis pistolas
Y lo fusilé con los dos cañones
(Estribillo)
Ahora a algunos hombres les gusta la pesca
Y a algunos hombres les gusta la caza
Y a algunos hombres les gusta escuchar
Escuchar rugir la bala de cañón
Pero a mi me gusta dormir
Especialmente en el dormitorio de mi Molly
Pero aquí estoy, en la carcel
Aquí estoy con una bola y una cadena, si
(Estribillo)
