(C major) (C major)
Verse 1
As (C major) I was a goin' over
the (A minor) far famed Kerry mountains
I (F major) met with captain Farrell
and his (C major) money he was counting
I first produced my pistol
and I (A minor) then produced my rapier
Saying (F major) "Stand and deliver"
for he (C major) were a bold deceiver

and it (A minor) made a pretty penny
I (F major) put it in me pocket

for they (C major) never can be easy

Verse 3
I (C major) went up to my chamber,
all (A minor) for to take a slumber
I (F major) dreamt of gold and jewels
and for (C major) sure 't was no wonder
But Jenny blew me charges
and she (A minor) filled them up with water
Then (F major) sent for captain Farrell
to be (C major) ready for the slaughter

Verse 4
And 't was (C major) early in the morning,
just be (A minor) fore I rose to travel
Up (F major) comes a band of footmen
and (C major) likewise captain Farrell
I first produced me pistol
for she (A minor) stole away me rapier
But I (F major) couldn't shoot the water,
so a (C major) prisoner I was taken
Chorus 4
Mush-a (G major) ring dum-a do dum-a da
(C major) Whack fall the daddy-o,
(F major) whack fall the daddy-o
There's (C major) whiskey (G major) in the (C major) jar
Verse 5
Now there's (C major) some take delight
in the (A minor) carriages a rolling
and (F major) others take delight
in the (C major) hurling and the bowling
but I take delight
in the (A minor) juice of the barley
and (F major) courting pretty fair maids
in the (C major) morning bright and early

Verse 6
If (C major) anyone can aid me
't is my (A minor) brother in the army
If (F major) I can find his station
in (C major) Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll go with me,
we'll go (A minor) rovin' through Killkenney
And I'm (F major) sure he'll treat me better
than my (C major) own a-sporting Jenny
Chorus 6
