{ci: Verse 1}
As [C]I was going over the [Am]Cork and Kerry mountains
I [F]met with Captain Farrell and his [C]money he was counting
I [C]first produced my pistol and [Am]then produced my rapier
Saying [F]stand and deliver for you [C]are my bold deceiver

{ci: Chorus}
Musha [G]ring dum-a do dum-a da
[C]Whack fol the daddy oh! [F]Whack fol the daddy oh!
There's [C]whiskey [G]in the [C]jar

{ci: Verse 2}
He [C]counted out his money and it [Am]was a pretty penny
I [F]put it in my pocket and I [C]took it home to Jenny
She [C]sighed and she swore that [Am]never would she leave me
But the [F]devil take the women for they [C]never can be easy

{ci: Chorus}

{ci: Verse 3}
I [C]went in to my chamber all [Am]for to take a slumber
I [F]dreamt of gold and jewels and for [C]sure it was no wonder
For [C]Jenny drew my charges and then [Am]filled them up with water
And she [F]sent for Captain Farrell to be [C]ready for the slaughter

{ci: Chorus}

{ci: Verse 4}
'Twas [C]early in the morning be[Am]fore I rose to travel
Up [F]crept a band of footmen and sure [C]with them Captain Farrell
I [C]then produced my pistol for she [Am]stole away my rapier
But I [F]couldn't shoot the water so a [C]prisoner I was taken

{ci: Chorus}

{ci: Verse 5}
If [C]anyone can help me it's my [Am]brother in the army
If [F]I could learn his station be it [C]Cork or in Killarney
And [C]if he'd come and join me we'd go [Am]roving in Kilkenny
I [F]know he'd treat me fairer than me [C]darling sporting Jenny

{ci: Chorus}

{ci: Verse 6}
There's [C]some takes delight in the [Am]carriages and rollin'
And [F]some takes delight in the [C]hurley or the bowlin'
But [C]I takes delight in the [Am]juice of the barley
And [F]courtin' pretty maids in the [C]mornin' oh so early

{ci: Chorus}
