W:She sighed and swore she loved me and never would deceive me, W:but the devil take the women for they always lie so easy. W: Musha... W: W:I went into me chamber all for to take a slumber, W:to dream of gold and girls and of course it was no wonder, W:me Jenny took me charges and she filled them up with water, W:called on Colonel Farrell to get ready for the slaughter. W: Musha... W: W:Next morning early before I rose for travel, W:acame a band of footmen and likewise Colonel Farrell, W:I goes to draw my pistol for she'd stole away my rapier. W:But a prisoner I was taken I couldn't shoot the water. W: Musha... W: W:They put me into jail with a judge all awritin' W:robbin' Colonel Farrell on Gilgarra Mountain. W:But they didn't take me fists and I knocked the jailer down, and bid a farewell to this W:tight fisted town. W: Musha... W: W:I'd like to find me brother the one that's in the army W:I don't know where he's stationed in Cork or in Killarney. W:Together we'd go roamin' o'er the mountains of Kilkenny, W:and I swear he'd treat me fairer than me darlin' sportin' Jenny. W: Musha... W: W:There's some takes delight in the carriages and rollin', W:some takes delight in the hurley or the bollin'. W:But I takes delight in the juice of the barley, courtin' W:pretty maids in the mornin', oh so early. W: Musha...
