I saw Captain Farrell - And his money he was counting
F5         F5            E5  D5             D5
I first produced my pistol - And then produced my rapier
Bb5        Bb5                     F5           F5
I said "Stand and deliver - Or the devil he may take you"

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

Bb5             Bb5             F5             F5
Taking my Molly with me - But I never knew the danger

For about six or maybe seven - In walked Captain Farrell
Bb5             Bb5                   F5            F5
I jumped up, fired my pistols - And I shot him with both barrels

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