[Verse 1: Ronnie Drew]
As I was going over the fair Kilmagenny mountains
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced me pistol, and I then produced me rapier
Said, "Stand and deliver, for I am the bold deceiver"
[Chorus]
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for my daddy 'ol
Whack for my daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
[Verse 2: Shane MacGowan]
I counted out his money, it made a pretty penny
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny
She saw it and she swore she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women, for they never can be easy
[Chorus]
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for my daddy 'ol
Whack for my daddy 'ol
There's whiskey in the jar
[Verse 3: Ronnie Drew]
I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and sure it was no wonder
But Jenny threw me charges and she filled them up with water
And sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter
As I was going over the fair Kilmagenny mountains
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced me pistol, and I then produced me rapier
Said, "Stand and deliver, for I am the bold deceiver"

Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for my daddy 'ol
Whack for my daddy 'ol

Whack for my daddy 'ol
