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 Chorus: Mush-a ring dum a do dum a da Whack fol my daddy-o. Whack fol my daddy-o Theres 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 (Chorus) 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 (Chorus) t was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell I first produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier I couldnt shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken (Chorus) Now theres 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 (Chorus) 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 hell go with me, well go rovin through Killkenny And Im sure hell treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny (Chorus)
