\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.

\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.

\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.

\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.
