As I was a goin' over the far-famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Carrell and his money he was counting.
I first produced me pistol and I then produced me rapier,
Saying, "Stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver."
Chorus
Ringum, doorum-a-da,
Whack fol my daddy O,
Whack fol my daddy O,
There's whiskey in the jar.
I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy

There's some take delight in the carriages a rolling
And others take delight in the hurling and the bowling,
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early

Rock Road to Dublin
Em Em
In the merry month of June, When first from home I started
Em D
Left the girls of Tuam, So sad and broken hearted
Em Em
Saluted Cather dear, Kissed me darlin' Mother
Em D
And drank a pint of beer, Me grief and tears to smother
Em D Em D
Then off to reap the corn, Leave where I was born
Em D D D
Cut a stout blackthorn, To banish ghosts and goblin
Em D Em D
Bought a pair of brogues, Rattle over the bogs
Em D D D
Frightened all the dogs, On the rocky road to Dublin
Em D Em
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
Em Em
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
D Em D Em
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da
Em Em
When in Mullingar that night, I rested limbs so weary
Em D
Started by daylight, Me spirits bright and early
Em Em
Took a drop o' pure, Keep me heart from sinking
Em D
That's a paddy's cure, Whenever he's on drinking
Em D Em D
To see the lassie's smile, Laughing all the while
Em D D D
At me curious style, Would set your heart to bubbling
Em D Em D
Asked me I was hired, Wages I required
Em D D D
I was almost tired, On the rocky road to Dublin
Em D Em
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
Em Em
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
D Em D Em
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da
Em Em
Well in Dublin next arrived, I thought it be a pity
Em D
To be so soon deprived, E view of that fine city
Em Em
Then I took a stroll, All among the quality
Em D
Me bundle it was stole, In a neat locality
Em D Em D
Something crossed me mind, When I looked behind
Em D D D
No bundle could I find, Upon me stick a wobbling
Em D Em D
Enquiring after the rogue, They said me Connacht brouge
Em D D D
Wasn't much in vogue, On the rocky road to Dublin
Em D Em
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
Em Em
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
D Em D Em
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da
Em Em
Well, From there I got away, Me spirits never failing
Em D
Landed on the quay, Just as the ship was sailing
Em Em
Gaptain at me roared, Said that no room had he
Em D
When I jumped aboard, E cabin found for Paddy
Em D Em D
Down among the pigs, Played some hearty rigs
Em D D D
Aanced some hearty jigs, The water round me bubblin'
Em D Em D
When off Holyhead, I wished meself was dead
Em D D D
Or, Better far instead, On the rocky road to Dublin
Em D Em
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
Em Em
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
D Em D Em
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da
Em Em
Well, The boys of Liverpool, When we safely landed
Em D
Galled meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
Em Em
Blood began to boil, Temper I was losing
Em D
Poor ould Erins Isle, They began abusing
Em D Em D
Hurrah me soul says I, Shillelagh I let fly
Em D D D
Some Dalway boys were by, Saw I was a-hollerin'
Em D Em D
Then with a loud horray, They joined in the affray
Em D D D
We quickly cleared the way, For the rocky road to Dublin
Em D Em
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
Em Em
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
D Em D Em
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de daaaa
