[Verse 1]
C Am
As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry Mountains

I met with Captain Farrell and his money, he was countin'
C Am
I first produced me pistols and then produced me rapier
F C
Said, "Stand and deliver!" For he were a bold deceiver
[Chorus]
G F C
M'uishe rinne me do amada Wack fall the daddy-o,
Am F C G C
Wack fall the daddy-o, there's whiskey in the jar
[Verse 2]
C Am
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
F C
I put it in my pocket and I brought it home to Jenny
Am
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
F C
But the devil take the women, for they never can be easy
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
C Am
I went into my chamber, all for to take a slumber
F C
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was a wonder
Am
For Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water
F C
Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter
[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
C Am
T'was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
F C
Up came a band of footmen, and likewise captain Farrell
Am
So I first produced me pistol, for she stole away me rapier
F C
But I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken

[Verse 5]
C Am
If anyone can aid me, it's me brother in the army
F C
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
Am
And if he'll go with me, we'd go rovin' through Killkenney
F C
And I'm sure he'd treat me better than me darlin' sportin' Jenny
[Chorus]
