Verse 1
G 
As I was going over the far
-famed Kerry Mountains,
I met with Captain Farrell
and his money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol
and I threw forth my sabre,
saying, Stand and deliver,
for you are about a sabre.
Oh, whack for the diddle -o,
whack for the diddle -o,
there's whisky in the jar.
And whack for the diddle -o,
whack for the diddle -o,
there's whisky in the jar.
Em 
As I was going over the Kilgarry mountains

G 
and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol

and I threw forth my sabre
C 
Stand and deliver for you
G 
are a bold deceiver

Went into my chamber,

In Cork or in Killarney
Together we'll go rovin'

I swear he'd treat me better
