As I was a goin` over Gilgarra Mountain
I spied Colonel Farrell and his money he was countin`
First I drew me pistols, and then I drew me rapier, sayin`
"Stand and deliver for I am your bold deceiver"
Refrain:
Mush-a-ring-um duram da
Whack fol the daddy o
Whack fol the daddy o
There`s whiskey in the jar.
He counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put in me pocket to take home to darlin` Jenny
She sighed and swore she loved me
And never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for they always lie so easy
(Refrain)
I went into me chamber all for to take a slumber
To dream of gold and girls and o`course it was no wonder
Me Jenny took me charges and she filled them up with water
Called on Colonel Farrell to get ready for the slaughter
(Refrain)
Next mornin` early before I rose to travel
A` came a band o` footmen and likewise Colonel Farrell
I goes to draw me pistol for she`d stole away me rapier
But a prisoner I was taken, I couldn`t shoot the water
(Refrain)
They put me into jail with the judge all a-writin`
For robbin` Colonel Farrell on Gilgarra Mountain
But they didn`t take me fists so I knocked the jailer down
And bid a farewell to this tight-fisted town
(Refrain)
I`d like to find me brother, the one that`s in the army
I don`t know where he`s stationed, in Cork or in Killarney
Together we`d go roamin`o`er the mountains of Kilkenny
And I swear he`d treat me fairer than me darlin` sportin` Jenny
(Refrain)
There`s some takes delight in the carriages and rollin`
And some takes delight in the hurley or the bollin`
But I takes delight in the juice of the barley
Courtin` pretty maids in the mornin` oh so early
