As CI was a goin' over the Amfar famed Kerry mountains
I Fmet with captain Farrell and his Cmoney he was counting
I Cfirst produced my pistol and I Amthen produced my rapier
Saying F"Stand and deliver" for he Cwere a bold deceiver
      Mush-a Dmring dum-a do dum-a Gda,
      CWack fall the daddy-o, Fwack fall the daddy-Dm7o
      There's Cwhiskey G7in the Cjar

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

I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't was no wonder
But Jenny blew me charges and she filled them up with water
Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter

't was 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
I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken

If anyone can aid me 't is 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 rovin' through Killkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny
