  C                  Am 
As I was a goin' over Gilgarra mountain, 
F                          C            Am 
I met Colonel Pepper and his money he was counting 
F                        C          Am 
I drew forth my pistol and rattled my saber 
        F                      C           Am 
Saying, "Stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver." 
     G7 
Musha ringum duram da 
C             C7 
Whack! Fol de daddy-o 
F 
Whack! Fol de daddy-o 
       C       G7     C 
There's whiskey in the jar 

The shining yellow coins did sure look bright and jolly 
I took the money home and I gave it to my Molly 
She promised and she vowed that she never would deceive me 
But the devil's in the women and they never can be easy 

When I awoke between the hours of six and seven 
Guards were standing 'round me in numbers odd and even 
I flew to my pistol, but alas, I was mistaken 
I fired off my pistols and a prisoner was taken 

They put me in jail without a judge or jury 
For robbing Colonel Pepper in the morning so early 
They didn't take my fist so I knocked down the sentry 
And I bid a long farewell to that cold penitentiary 

Some take delight in fishing and bowling 
Others take delight in the carriage a rollin' 
I take delight in the juice of the barley 
Courting pretty women in the mornin' so early
