\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 said 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 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
|
|
\endverse
|
|
|
|
\beginverse
|
|
'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
|
|
\endverse

|
\beginverse
|
|
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
