Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar lyrics

[Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar lyrics]

As I was going over the
Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his
Money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and
Then produced my rapier
I said stand and deliver or the devil
He may take you i took all of his money and
It was a pretty penny
I took all of his money, yeah
And I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she would love me
No never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman, yeah
For you know she tricked me easy

Musha ring dum a doo dum 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
Taking money with me but 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, yeah

Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Yeah ah, whiskey in the jar-o
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woah yeah, yeah

Now some men like the fishing and
Some men like the fowling
And some men like to hear
To hear cannon ball a roaring
Me? I like sleeping specially
In my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I
Am with a ball and chain, yeah

Musha ring dum a doo dum a da, yeah, yeah
Whack for my daddy-o whack for my daddy-o
Whiskey in the jar-o, yeah
Whiskey in the jar-o, yeah

Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Hey, musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da, yeah
