CAs I was goin' over the a Cork and Kerry mountains
FI saw Captain Farrell and his C money he was countin'
CI first produced my pistol and a then produced my rapier
I said F stand and deliver or the C devil he may take ya

R: Musha G ring dum a doo dum a da
CWhack for my daddy-o
FWhack for my daddy-o
There's C whiskey G in the C 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 treat me easy
R:

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
R:

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 Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah
