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,

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,

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,
