As I was goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains, 
  C5                               G5            D5
I met with Captain Farrel and his money he was countin'
  G5                            E5
I first produced me pistol and then produced me rapier,
     C5                           G5
Sayin' "Stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver"

Whack fol the daddy O,
        G5       D5      G5
There's whiskey in the jar.

  G5                            E5
I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
  C5                         G5                  D5                       
I put it in me pocket and I took it home to my Jenny
    G5                             E5
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
        C5                             G5
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy

  G5                          E5
I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber
  C5                                 G5              D5
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't was no wonder
    G5                             E5
But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water
     C5                              G5
Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter

       G5                            E5
't was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
   C5                               G5            D5
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell
  G5                                E5
I first produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier
  C5                              G5
I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken

Now there's some take delight in the carriages a rolling
    C5                          G5               D5
and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling
    G5                     E5
but I take delight in the juice of the barley
    C5                                 G5
and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early

   G5                          E5
If anyone can aid me 't is me brother in the army
   C5                         G5            D5
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
    G5                             E5
And if he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' through Killkenny
    C5                                      G5
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny
