I was going over the [Em] Cork and Kerry mountains.
[C] I saw Captain Barrow and [G] his money, he was counting.
I first produced my pistol and [Em] then produced my wavier.
I [C] said, stand on your liver, or the devil, he may take you.
But [D] your ring, dum-a-doo-dum-a-dah.
[C] Wait for my daddy-o, wait for my daddy-o, [G] there's whiskey in the jar-o.

took all of his money, and it was a pretty penny.
[C] I took all of his money, and I brought it home to Molly.
Just swore that she'd love me, [Em] never would she leave me.

[C] Taking my Molly with me, [G] and I never knew the danger.
Four by six, or maybe seven, [Em] in my Captain's barrel.
[C] I jumped up, fired off my pistols, [G] and I shot him with both barrels.

Now some men like a fishing, [Em] and some men like a filing.
And [C] some men like to hear [G] a cannonball rolling.
And me, I like sleeping, [Em] especially in my Molly's chamber.
[C] But here I am in prison, [G] here I am with a bone and chain.
