As I was going over the Kilmagenny mountain

I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting.

I first produced my pistol, and the produced my rapier.

Said stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver,

Kertos

It was early in the morning, before I rose to travel,

the guards were all around me and likewise captain Farrel.

I first produced my pistol, for she stole away my rapier,

but I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken.

Chorus

If anyone can aid me, it's my brother in the army,

if I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney.

And if he'll come and save me, we'll go roving near Kilkenny,

and I swear he'll treat me better than me darling sportling Jenny

Chorus

Now some men take delight in the drinking and the roving,

but others take delight in the gambling and the smoking.

But I take delight in the juice of the barley,

and courting pretty Jenny in the morning bright and early
