Verse 1
   G       Em
As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
  C         G
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'
  G           Em
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
       C            G
I said "stand and deliver or the devil, he may take you"

Verse 2
   G       Em
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
  C         G
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly
  G           Em
She swore that she loved me, no never would she leave me
       C            G
For the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy

Chorus
       D           C#  C
Mush-a rain dum a doo dum a da
C
Whack for my daddy-o Whack for my daddy-o
C       G
There's whiskey in the jar-o

Verse 3
   G       Em
Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
  C         G
Takin' my Molly with me but I never knew the danger
  G           Em
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
       C            G
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels

Chorus

Solo

Verse 4
   G       Em
Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'
  C         G
And some men like ta hear, ta hear a cannon ball a roarin'
  G           Em
Me I like sleepin', 'specially in my Molly's chamber
       C            G
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah
