[F] As [Em]
[G]
I was going over [Em] the Cork and Kerry mountains
[C] I saw Captain Farrell and [G] his money
He was counting
I first produced my pistol
[Em] Then produced my raviol
I [C] said, stand or deliver
[G] On the devil he may take you
[D] But your reign don't do double dime
[C]
When born of a daddy-o
When born of a daddy-o
[G] There's whiskey in the jar-o
[Em]

[Em] I [G]
took all of his money
And [Em] it was a pretty penny
[C] Took all of his money
And [G] I brought it home to Miley
She swore that she loved me
[Em]
Never would she leave me
[C] But the devil take that woman
Cause [G] you know she'll trick me easy
But [D] your reign don't do double dime

Some men like a fishing
[Em] Some men like a fowling
[C] Some men like to hear
[G] Cannonball a-roaring
Me, I like sleeping
[Em] Especially in my Miley's chamber
[C] Here I am in prison
Here [G] I am with a ball and two sticks
But [D] your reign don't do double dime
[C] When born of a daddy-o
When born of a daddy-o
[G] There's whiskey in the jar-o
