"As I was going over
The Cork and Kerry mountains
I met with Captain Farrell
And his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol
And then produced my rapier
Saying 'Stand now and deliver
'For you are my bold deceiver"
Musha ring dum a doorum da
Whack Fol de Daddy O
Whack Fol de Daddy O
There's whiskey in the jar"
etc.
It's an Irish traditional ballad. Everyone has a
version of it, even the Dublin group Thin Lizzy,
headed by the late Phil Lynnott.
