lyrics

As I was a goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced me pistol and I then produced me rapier
Saying "Stand and deliver" for I am a bold deceiver

Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
Whack for the daddy-o, whack for the daddy-o
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 sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for they never can go easy

I went unto my chamber, for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder
That Jenny took my charges and she filled them up with water
Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter

'Twas early in the morning, before I rose to travel
The guards were all around me and likewise captain Farrell
I first produced me pistol for she'd stolen away my rapier
I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken

If anyone can aid me 'tis my brother in the army
I think he is stationed in Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll come and join me, we'll go rovin' through Kilkenney
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my darlin' sportin' Jenny

Some men delight in the drinkin' and a-rovin'
Others delight in the hurly and the bowling
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
