Thin Lizzy – Whiskey in the Jar Lyrics

Artist: Thin Lizzy
Song: Whiskey in the Jar

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 o’er and deliver

Or the devil he may take ya”
.

Muni Long “Pain” (Live Performance) | Open Mic
Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da
Whack for my daddy-o

,
Whack for my daddy-o
There’s 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 she’d love me

Never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman
For you know she tricked me easy
Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da

Whack for my daddy-o
,
Whack for my daddy-o
There’s whiskey in the jar-o

Being drunk and weary
I went to Molly’s 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

Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da
Whack for my daddy-o
,
Whack for my daddy-o

There’s whiskey in the jar-o
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’
Especially in my Molly’s chamber

But here I am in prison
Here I am with a ball and chain, yeah
Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da
Whack for my daddy-o

,
Whack for my daddy-o
There’s whiskey in the jar-o
And I got drunk on whiskey-o

And I loved, I loved, I loved
I loved, I loved, I loved my Molly-o
And cheerio Farrell
And I’ll burn it down

That dirty ol’ town
