 As I  was goin over the cork  and kerry mountains
 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 ya
 Musha ring  dum a doo dum a da
 Whack for my daddy-o
 Whack for my daddy-o
 Theres whiskey  in the jar-o
 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 shed love me, never  would she leave me
 But the devil  take that woman for you know  she tricked me easy
 Being drunk and weary I went  to mollys chamber
Takin  my money with me and I never  knew the danger
 For about six or maybe seven in  walked captain farrell
 I jumped up,  fired off my pistols and I shot  him with both barrels
 Now some  men like the fishin and some  men like the fowlin
 And some  men like ta hear a cannon  ball a roarin
 Me I like sleepin specially  in my mollys chamber
 But here  I am in prison, here I am  with a ball and chain yeah
