|
\[Do]As I was going over the \[Lam]far fam'd Kerry Mountains,
|
|
I \[Fa]met with Captain Farrel, and his \[Do]money he was \[Sol]countin',
|
|
I \[Do]first produced my pistol, and I \[Lam]than produced my rapier,
|
|
Sayin': ``\[Fa]Stand and deliver for you \[Do]are my bold deceiver''.

\beginverse
|
|
I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny,
|
|
I put it in my pocket, and I took it home to Jenny,
|
|
She sighed, and she swore that she never would deceive me,
|
|
But the devil takes 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 it was no wonder,
|
|
But Jenny drew my charges and she filled them out with water,
|
|
Then sent for Captain Farrel, to be ready for the slaughter.
|
|
\endverse

|
|
|
\beginverse
|
|
't was early in the morning just before I rose to travel,
|
|
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise, Captain Farrel,
|
|
I first produced my pistol for she stole away my 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, in Cork or in Killarney,
|
|
And if he'll go with me we'll go roving in Kilkenny,
|
|
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my darling sporting Jenny.
