As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains

I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting

I first produced me pistol and then produced me rapier

Saying "Stand and deliver" for I am a bold deceiver

\bigskip

\textbf{Musha ring dumma do damma da}

\textbf{whack fol' the daddy 'ol (bis)}

\textbf{there's whiskey in the jar}

\bigskip

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 said and she swore that she never would deceive me

But the devil take the women for they never can be easy

\bigskip

I went up in 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

\bigskip

't was early in the morning, as I rose to travel

The guards were all around me likewise captain Farrell

I first produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier

I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken

\bigskip

If anyone can aid me it's my brother in the army

If I knew 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 this fuckin' cunt of Jenny
