   G                   Em
As I was goin over the cork and kerry mountains
  C                           G
I saw captain farrell and his money he was countin
                               Em
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                       C
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da

Whack for my daddy-o

Whack for my daddy-o
       G                    F Em G F Em G
Theres whiskey in the jar-o

                               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
                             Em
She swore that shed love me, never would she leave me
        C                             G
But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy

[Chorus]

[Solo]
                        Em
Being drunk and weary I went to mollys chamber
C                              G
Takin my money with me and I never knew the danger
                             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]

    G                            Em
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
                   Em
Me I like sleepin specially in my mollys chamber
    C                           G
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah
