the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and
his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and I
Saying "Stand and deliver" for
Mush- a ring dum- a do dum-
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
Mush- a ring dum- a do dum-
just before I rose to travel
Up comes a band of footmen and
I first produced me pistol for
I couldn't shoot the water,
so a prisoner I was taken
Mush- a ring dum- a do dum-
Now there's some take delight
in the carriages a- rollin'
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
Mush- a ring dum- a do dum-
If anyone can aid me 't is
If I can find his station in
we'll go rovin' through Killkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better
than my own a- sporting Jenny
Mush- a ring dum- a do dum-
