1
As I went a-walkin' on Kilgary Mountain,
2
I spied Colonel Pepper, and his money he was countin';
3
I rattled out my pistols and I drew forth my saber,
4
Cryin', "Stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver."
5
Chorus:
6
Musha rig um du rum da,
7
Whack fol the daddy o,
8
Whack fol the daddy o,
9
There's whisky in the jar.
10
The gold and silver coins, they looked so bright and shiny,
11
Oh, I took them home straightway, and I gave 'em to my Molly;
12
She vowed and she promised that she never would deceive me,
13
But the devil's in the women, oh, you never can believe 'em.
14
[Chorus:]
15
But when I awoke between six and seven,
16
The guards were all around me in numbers odd and even;
17
I reached for my pistols, but alas, I was mistaken;
18
My pistols had been fired, and a prisoner I was taken.
19
[Chorus:]
20
They put me in the jail without judge or writin',
21
For robbing Colonel Pepper, oh, on Kilgary Mountain,
22
But they didn't take my fists, so I knocked the sentry down,
23
And bade farewell to the jail in Sligo town.
24
[Chorus:]
25
Some people take delight in fishin' and in bowlin';
26
Oh, others take delight in the carriages a-rollin';
27
But I take delight in the juice of the barley,
28
And courtin' pretty girls 'til the morning so early.
