Thin Lizzy

Whiskey in the Jar

Ge
As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
CGe
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take you
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
She swore that she'd love me, no, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy
D
Musha ring um duram da,
G
whack for my daddy, oh,
C
whack for my daddy, oh,
GDG
there's whiskey in the jar
Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' my money with me and I never knew the danger
For about six, maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired my pistols and I shot him with both barrels

Ref.

Now some men like the fishin', some men like the fowlin'
Some men like to hear, to hear a cannon ball a roarin'
Me and other like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah
