As I was a-crossin' over the Abercrombie Mountain,

I met Sir Frederick Pottinger, and his money he was countin'.
G                              Em
I then produced my pistole to acquaint him of his danger,

Sayin', "Stand and deliver-oh! for I am a bold bushranger."

Now it's early the next morning about six o'clock or seven,
            C                         G
there where troopers all around me in numbers of odd and even,
G                                      Em
Y'see Jenny had got me charges and she dampened them with water
       C                          G
Oh the devil take her mother, for rearing such a daughter!

G                                           Em
So they sent me off to Bathurst Gaol Without, no judge or writin',
        C                          G
For the robbin' of Sir Fred on the Abercrombie Mountain,
G                                          Em
But they didn't take my fist from me and I knocked out all the sentries!
     C                        G
So I bid fond farewell to Sir Fred and all his Gentry!

There's whiskey in the jar...hey!
