As I    was going        over                 the Cork and    Kerry        mountains
 I took all of       his money,               and it was  a        pretty  penny,
 Being      drunk    and weary                I      went     to   Molly's chamber,
Now some men like    the fishing              and    some     men      like fowling,

   C        +            +                           G        +            +

I  met  with Cap-    tain Farrell        and his     money    he       was counting.
 I took all of       his money,               and I  brought it home   to  Molly.
   Taking        Molly   with me,        but I       never    knew     the danger,
And some men like    to  hear,           to   hear the cannon- ball    a-  roaring,

   G        +            +                           Em       +            +

I first pro-duced    my  pistol               and    then     produced my  rapier,
She swore   that     she loved      me,       no     never    would    she leave me,
For about six or  maybe  seven,                      in walked    Captain  Farrell,
   Me -           I like sleeping,            E-     specially in my Molly's chamber,
