G (320003@1)                  E (022100@1)   As I was a-goin' over Gilgarra mountains
     C (x32010@1)                      G (320003@1)   I met Colonel Pepper and his money he was counting
     G (320003@1)                        E (022100@1)   I drew forth my pistol and I rattled my sabre
     C (x32010@1)                       G (320003@1)   Saying "stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver"

    Chorus
    
    C (x32010@1)   Musha ringum duram da
    G (320003@1)   Whack fol de daddy-o
    E (022100@1)   Whack fol de daddy-o
    G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)        G (320003@1)   There's whiskey in the jar

    The shining yellow coins did sure look bright and jolly
    I took the money home and I gave it to my Molly
    She promised and she vowed that she never would deceive me
    But the devil's in the women for they never can be easy

    [chorus]

    When I awoke between the hours of six and seven
    Guards were standing 'round me in numbers odd and even
    I flew to my pistols, but alas I was mistaken
    I fired off my pistols and a prisoner was taken

    [chorus]

    They put me in jail without a judge or jury
    For robbing Colonel Pepper in the morning so early
    They didn't take my fist so I knocked down the sentry
    And I bid a long farewell to that cold penitentiary

    [chorus]

    Some take delight in fishing and bowling
    Others take delight in carriage a-rollin'
    I take delight in the juice of the barley
    Courting pretty women in the morning so early

    [chorus]
