As ^CI was goin' over the ^AmCork and Kerry mountains I ^Fmet with captain Farrell and his ^Cmoney, he was counting I first produced me pistols and ^Amthen produced me rapier Said, "^FStand and deliver!", for he ^Cwere a bold deceiver

I ^Ctook all of his money and it ^Amwas a pretty penny I ^Fput it in my pocket and I ^Cbrought it home to Jenny She sighed and she swore that she ^Amnever would deceive me But the ^Fdevil take the women, for they ^Cnever can be easy

I ^Cwent into my chamber, all ^Amfor to take a slumber I ^Fdreamt of gold and jewels and for ^Csure it was a wonder For Jenny drew me charges and she ^Amfilled them up with water Then ^Fsent for captain Farrell to be ^Cready for the slaughter

T'was ^Cearly in the morning, just be^Amfore I rose to travel Up ^Fcame a band of footmen, and ^Clikewise captain Farrell So I first produced me pistol, for she ^Amstole away me rapier But I ^Fcouldn't shoot the water, so a ^Cprisoner I was taken
