As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains
 I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
 I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier
 Saying "Stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver

 [bad word] 
 Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
 Whack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-o
 There's whiskey in the jar

 I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
 I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny
 She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
 But the devil take the women for they never can be easy

 [bad word] 

 I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber
 I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't was no wonder
 But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water
 Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter

 [bad word] 

 't was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
 [bad word] a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell
 I first produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier
 I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken

 [bad word] 

 Now there's some take delight in the carriages a rolling
 and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling
 but I take delight in the juice of the barley
 and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early

 [bad word] 

 If anyone can aid me 't is my brother in the army
 If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
 And if he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' through Killkenny
 And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny

 [bad word]
