Performed by The High Kings
As I was going over the Cork and Kerry mountains I met with captain Farrell, and his money he was counting I first produced my pistol, and then produced my rapier Said stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver Musha ring dumma do damma da Whack for the daddy-o Whack for the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar I took out all his money, and it was a pretty penny I put it in my pocket and I brought 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 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 up with water Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter ‘twas early in the morning, just before I rose for travel Up came a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell I first produced my pistol, for she stole away my rapier But I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken If anyone can aid me, it's 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 through Kilkenny I’m sure he'll treat me better than me darling sporting Jenny. |
