As I was going over - The Cork and Kerry Mountains 
  C                             G 
I saw Captain Farrell - And his money he was counting 
  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"

I took all of his money - And it was a pretty penny 
  C                                   G 
I took all of his money - Yeah, and I brought it home to Molly 
    G                             Em 
She swore that she loved me - No, never would she leave me 
C                                              G 
 But the devil take that woman - Yeah, for you know she tricked me easy

Being drunk and weary - I went to Molly`s chamber 
C                             G 
 Taking Molly with me - But I never knew the danger 
     G                               Em 
For about six or maybe seven - Yeah, in walked Captain Farrell 
C                                     G 
I jumped up, fired my pistols - And I shot him with both barrels

Now some men like the fishing - And some men like the fowling 
C                                G 
  And some men like to hear - To hear the cannonball a-roaring 
G                       Em 
Me, I like sleeping - Especially in my Molly`s chamber 
C                                  G 
  But here I am in prison - Here I am with a ball and chain, yeah
