[Keith] As I was a goin' over Cork and Kerry mountains I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was counting I first produced my pistol then produced my rapier I said "Stand and deliver" or the devil he may take you [Chorus:] Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da Whack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar-o [Neil] 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 loved me, never would she leave me
But the devil take that women for she knows she treat me easy. [Chorus] [Keith] Round about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell I jumped up, fired off my pistol and I shot him with both barrels [Chorus] [Neil] Some men like the fishin. Some men like the fowlin Some men like to hear the cannon ball a-rollin [Keith] Me, I like sleepin'; 'Specially in my Molly's chamber. But here I am in prison -- Here I am on the ball and chain, yeah! [Chorus]
