{c:Verso 1}
As [C]I was going over the [Am]far famed Kerry mountains
I [F]met with captain Farrell and his [C]money he was [G]counting.
I [C]first produced my pistol, and [Am]then produced my rapier.
Sayin' [F]"Stand and deliver, for you [C]are a bold de[G]ceiver",

{c:Verso 2}
I [C]counted out his money, and it [Am]made a pretty penny.
I [F]put it in my pocket and I [C]took it home to [G]Jenny.
She [C]said and she swore, that she [Am]never would deceive me,
but the [F]devil take the women, for they [C]never can be [G]easy

I [C]went into my chamber, [Am]all for to take a slumber,
I [F]dreamt of gold and jewels and for [C]sure it was no [G]wonder.
But [C]Jenny took my charges and she [Am]filled them up with water,
Then [C]sent for captain Farrel to be [C]ready for the [G]slaughter.

{c:Verso 4}
It was [C]early in the morning, as I [Am]rose up for travel,
The [F]guards were all around me and [C]likewise captain [G]Farrel.
I [C]first produced my pistol, for she [Am]stole away my rapier,
But [C]I couldn't shoot the water so a [C]prisoner I was [G]taken.

{c:Verso 5}
If [C]anyone can aid me, it's my [Am]brother in the army,
if [F]I can find his station in [C]Cork or in [G]Killarney.
And [C]if he'll come and save me, we'll [Am]go roving near Kilkenny,
and I [C]swear he'll treat me better than me [C]darling sportling [G]Jenny

{c:Verso 6}
Now [C]some men take delight in the [Am]drinking and the roving,
But [F]others take delight in the [C]gambling and the [G]smoking.
But [C]I take delight in the [Am]juice of the barley,
And [F]courting pretty fair maids in the [C]morning bright and [G]early
