[Intro]
Fifteen
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
As I was goin' over
The Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell
And his money, he was countin'
[Verse 2]
I first produced my pistol
And then produced my rapier
I said "Stand o'er, deliver
Or the Devil, he may take ya"
[Chorus]
Musha-ring, dumb-a-do, dumb-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
She swore that she'd love me
Never would she leave me
But the Devil take that woman
For you know she trickеd me easy
[Chorus]
Musha-ring, dumb-a-do, dumb-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
Therе's whiskey in the jar-o
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 5]
Bein' drunk and weary
I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' my money with me
And I never knew the danger
[Verse 6]
For about six or maybe seven
In walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistols
And I shot him with both barrels
[Chorus]
Musha-ring, dumb-a-do, dumb-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
[Verse 7]
Now some men like a-fishin'
And some men like a-fowlin'
And some men like to hear
A cannon ball a-roarin'
[Verse 8]
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
[Chorus]
Musha-ring, dumb-a-do, dumb-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
[Outro]
And I got drunk on whiskey-o
And I loved, I loved, I loved
I loved, I loved, I loved my Molly-o
And she wheeled her wheelbarrow
Through that dirty town, that dirty ol' town
And I'll be [?]
