As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier
Saying "Stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver

Chorus:
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she never would betray me
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy

(Chorus)

And if anyone can aid me 't is my brother in the army
If I can find his station it´s in Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' through Killkenney
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny

(Chorus)

There's some take delight in the hurling and the bowling
and others take delight in the carriages a rolling
but I take delight in the juice of the barley
and courting pretty women when the sun is rising early

(Chorus)
