[G] [A] [C]
As I was going over [Am] the far-famed Kerry mountains, [F] I met with Captain [C] Farrell and his money he was counting.
I first produced me pistol and [Am] I then produced me rapier,
[F] Say, stand and deliver [C] for you are a bold deceiver,
[G] Mushering a bugle [C] now,
Whack-a-walla-da-dee [F]-o, Whack-a-walla-da [C]-dee-o,
There's whiskey in the jar.
I counted out his money [Am] and it made him pretty petty,
[F] I put it in me [C] pocket and I took it on to Jenny,

[F] But I couldn't shoot the water [C] so a prisoner I was taken,

Now there's some take the light in the [Am] carriages a-rolling,
