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\\
|
|

\textbf{Musha ring dumma do damma da\\
|
|
whack fol' the daddy 'ol (bis)\\
|
|
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 said and she swore that she never would deceive me\\
|
|
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy\\
|
|
~\\
|
|
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\\
|
|
~\\
|
|
'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\\
|
|
~\\
|
|
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\\
