   G                     Em
As I was goin' over, the Cork and Kerry mountains

  C                           G
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin

  G                            Em
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier

       C                        G
I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya
[Chorus]
      D
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da

G                              Em
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny

  C                           G
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly

                              Em
She swore that she'd love me, never would she leave me

        C                             G
But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy
[Chorus]

G                       Em
Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber

C                            G
Takin my money with me and I never knew the danger

                             Em
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell

         C                              G
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels
[Chorus]

    G                             Em
Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'

    C                           G
And some men like to hear   the cannon ball a roarin'

                   Em
Me I like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber

    C                           G
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah
