Intro: |G  |D  |

Verse: 1
                        Bm
As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountain
  G                                D            Bm
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting.
  D                             Bm
I first produced my pistol, and then I drew my sabre
     G                        D           Bm
Said stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver,

Verse: 2
                                Bm
I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny.
  G                         D               Bm
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny.
    D                            Bm
She said and she swore, that she never would deceive me,
        G                              D            Bm
But the devil take the women, for they never can be easy

Verse: 3
                             Bm
I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber,
  G                                   D              Bm
I dreamt of gold and jewels, boys and sure it was no wonder.
    D                             Bm
But Jenny took my charges and she filled them up with water,
     G                             D             Bm
Then sent for captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter.

Verse: 4
                                    Bm
Next day just as I was leavin', was early in the mornin'
    G                        D                     Bm
The captain and his soldiers came at me without warnin'
       D                       Bm
I then produced my pistol, she stole away my sabre
  G                             D                   Bm
I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken

                                                 Bm
I'd like to find my brother, he's the one that's in the army
             G                                   D      Bm
I don't know where he's stationed, is it Cork or in Killarney?
         D                                  Bm
Together we'll go ridin' o'er the mountains of Kilkenny
                 G                               Bm
Oh, I know he'll treat me better than my darlin' sportin' Jenny

Verse: 6
                                    Bm
There's some delight in fishin' and some delight in bowlin'
    G                          A           Bm
And some take delight in their carriages a-rollin'
    D                     Bm
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
G   N.C.
And courtin' pretty girls in the mornin' bright and early
