As I was goin' over, the Cork and Kerry mountain

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

                               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]

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

G                           Em
Some men like a 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' especially in my Molly's chamber

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