As I was going over Kilgarry Mountain, \\
|
|
I spied Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'. \\
|
|
I first produced me pistol, and then produced me rapier, \\
|
|
Sayin' stand and deliver for I am your bold receiver. \\
|
|
|
|
\textit{[Chorus] \\
|
|
Well shirigim duraham da \\
|
|
Wack fall the daddy oh, wack fall the daddy oh \\
|
|
There's whiskey in the jar. \\}
|
|
|
|
He 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 the always lie so easy. \\
|
|
|
|
\textit{[Chorus] \\}
|
|
|
|
I went into me chamber all for to take a slumber, \\
|
|
To dream of gold and girls and of course it was no wonder, \\
|
|
Me Jenny took me charges and she filled them up with water. \\
|
|
Called on Captain Farrell to get ready for the slaughter. \\
|
|
|
|
\textit{[Chorus] \\}
|
|
|
|
Next morning early before I rose to travel, \\
|
|
There came a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrell \\
|
|
I goes to draw me pistol for she'd stole away my rapier, \\
|
|
But a prisoner I was taken, I couldn't shoot the water. \\
|
|
|
|
\textit{[Chorus] \\}
|
|
|
|
They put me into jail with a judge all a writin' \\
|
|
For robbin' Captain Farrel on Kilgary Moutnain. \\
|
|
But they didn't take me fists so I knocked the jailer down, \\
|
|
And bid a farewell to this tightfisted town. \\
|
|
|
|
\textit{[Chorus] \\}
|
|
|
|
I'd like to find me brother, the one that's in the army, \\
|
|
I don't know where he's stationed, in Cork or in Killarney. \\
|
|
Together we'd go roving o'er the mountains of Killkenney \\
|
|
And I swear he'd treat me better than darling sporting Jenny. \\
|
|
|
|
\textit{[Chorus] \\}
|
|
|
|
There's some takes delight in the carriages and rolling, \\
|
|
Some takes delight in the hurley or the bowlin' \\
|
|
But I takes delight in the juice of the barley, \\
|
|
Counting pretty maids in the morning oh so early. \\ |
