[Verse 1]
As I was going over the Cork and Kerry Mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
Saying "Stand and deliver, or the devil he may take ya"

[Verse 2]
I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Molly
She swore that she loved me, no, never would she leave me
But the devil take that women for you know she tricked me еasy

[Chorus]
Mush a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Wack fall the daddy o, wack fall the daddy o
Therе's whiskey in the jar

[Chorus]
Mush a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Wack fall the daddy o, wack fall the daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar

[Verse 3]
Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' Molly with me but I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven, in walked captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired my pistols and I shot him with both barrels
[Chorus]
Mush a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Wack fall the daddy o, wack fall the daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar

[Chorus]
Mush a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Wack fall the daddy o, wack fall the daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar

[Verse 4]
Now some men like the fishin', and some men like the fowlin'
Some men like to hear, to hear the cannonball roarin'
Me, I like sleeping, 'specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah

[Chorus]
Mush a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Wack fall the daddy o, wack fall the daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar

[Chorus]
Mush a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Wack fall the daddy o, wack fall the daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar
[Chorus]
Mush a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Wack fall the daddy o, wack fall the daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar

[Chorus]
Mush a ring dumb a do dumb a da
Wack fall the daddy o, wack fall the daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar
