[Verse 1]
G Em
As I was goin over the cork and kerry mountains
C G
I saw captain farrell and his money he was countin

I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier

I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya

I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny

But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy

Being drunk and weary I went to mollys chamber
