this version is the lyric that phil lynott used on the record, as i heard it

verse 1
as i was goin' over
the cork and kerry mountains,
i saw captain farrell
and, his money, he was counting.
i first produced my pistols
and, then, produced my rapier.
i said, "stand and deliver!
or the devil, he may take you!"

chorus
musha ring dom-a-do, dom-a-da!
whack for my daddieo,
whack for my daddieo,
there's whiskey in the jar

verse 2
i counted up his money,
and it was a pretty penny.
i counted up 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 tricked me easy!

chorus

verse 3
being drunk and weary,
i went to molly's chamber.
taking my molly with me,
and i never knew the danger
for, 'bout six or, maybe seven,
in walked captain farrell!
ijumped up, fired off my pistols
and i shot him, with both barrels!

chorus

verse 4
now, some men like the fishing
and some men like the violin
and some like to hear
the cannon ball a-roaring
but, me,  i like the sleeping,
'specially in my molly's chamber.
but, here i am in prison,
here i am, with a ball and chain, yea

chorus
