\beginverse
As \[G]I was a goin' over the \[Em]far famed Kerry mountains,
I \[C]met with Captain Farrell and his \[G]money he was \[D]counting.
I \[G]first produced me pistol and I \[Em]then produced me rapier,
Saying \[C]"Stand and deliver" for I \[G]am a bold deceiver.
\endverse

\beginchorus
Musha \[D]ring dumma do damma dah
\[G] Whack fol' the daddy -o,
\[C] Whack fol' the daddy -o,
There's \[G]whiskey \[D]in the \[G]jar.
\endchorus

\beginverse
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.
\endverse

\beginverse
I went into my chamber all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't was no wonder
But Jenny drew my charges and she filled them up with water
And sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter.
\endverse

\beginverse
'twas early in the morning just before I rose to travel
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrell
I first produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier
But I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken.
\endverse

\beginverse
If anyone can aid me 'tis my brother in the army
If I can find his station down in Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll come and join me, we'll go rovin' near Killkenny
And sure he'll treat me better than my only sporting Jenny.
\endverse
