G                                      E
As I was going' over the cork and Kerry mountains
   C                                             G
I saw captain Farrell and his money he was counting'
  G                                               E
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
              C                                  G
I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya
D
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
C
Whack for my daddy-o
C
Whack for my daddy-o
G
There's whiskey in the jar-o

G                                               E
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                                               E
She swore that she'd love me, never would she leave me
C                                                               G
But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy
                              PLAY CHORUS

G                                          E
Being drunk and weary I went to molly's chamber
C                                                     G
Takin' my money with me and I never knew the danger
G                                              E
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
                               PLAY CHORUS
 G                                                        E
Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'
C                                                G
And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a roarin'
G                                E
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

                         Play chorus
