Key: G major

Verse 1
G G 
 
Old Riley, he's done a stallion
But they caught him and
they brought him back
C C 
 
And they laid him down on
G G 
 
the jailhouse ground
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
With an iron chain around his neck
G G 
 
O 'Reilly's daughter got a message
That her father was going to have
C C 
 
G G 
 
She rode by night and came by morning
Am Am 
 
A A 
 
C C 
 
With gold and silver in her hand
G G 
 
When the judge saw O 'Reilly's daughter
His old eyes deepened in his head
C C 
 
G G 
 
Saying, God will never free your father
Am Am 
 
A A 
 
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
The price, my dear, is you will stay
G G 
 
I'm as good as dead, says Riley
It's only you that he displays
C C 
 
G G 
 
My skin will surely fall, he touches you at all
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
Get on  your horse and ride away
G G 
 
Oh father, you will surely die
If I don't take the chance to try
C C 
 
And pay for the price,
G G 
 
and not take your advice
Am Am 
 
For that reason I would have to
C C 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
stay
F F 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
Gower's shadow shook that evening,
and the night the hound dogged bay
C C 
 
And the night the crowns
G G 
 
were crawling,
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
and the night the price was paid
G G 
 
The next morning she had awoken,
to know that the judge had never spoken
C C 
 
G G 
 
She saw the hanging branch a -bending
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
She saw her father's body broken
G G 
 
Seven curses on the judge so cruel
That one doctor will not save him
C C 
 
G G 
 
That two healers will not heal him
Am Am 
 
A A 
 
C C 
 
And three eyes will not see him
G G 
 
And four ears will not hear him
And five walls will not hide him
C C 
 
G G 
 
And six diggers will not bury him
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
And seven deaths will never free him
G G 
 
You
