O'Reilly [A] stole [E] a stallion, but they caught him and they brought him back,
[A] and they laid him [E] down in a jailhouse ground with an [A] iron chain [E] around his neck.
O'Reilly's daughter got a message that her [A] father [E] was to hang.
[A] She rode by night and came by [E] morning with gold and silver in her hand.
When the judge saw O'Reilly's daughter, his old eyes deepened in his head,
[A] saying, Gold will [E] never free your father, [B] the price, my dear, is [E] you instead.
I'm as good as [F#m] dead, [E] cried O'Reilly, it's [A] only [F#m] you that he [E] does crave,
and [A] my skin will [F#m] surely crawl [E] if it touches you at all.
[A] [B] Get back on your horse and [E] ride away.
O'Father, you will surely die if I don't [F#m] take the [E] chance to try
to [A] pay the [E] price and not take your advice.
For that reason [F#m] I will have to [E] stay.
A gallant shadow shook the evening, [A] in the night [F#m] a hound [E] dog bayed.
[A] In the night the grounds [E] were groaning,
[B] in the night the price [E] was paid.
The next morning she had awoken to find [A] that the judge had [E] never spoken.
She [A] saw that hanging branch [E] bending, she [B] saw her father's body [E] broken.
These be seven curses on a judge so cruel, that [A] one doctor [E] cannot save him,
[A] that two [E] healers cannot heal him, [B] and that three eyes [E] cannot see him,
that [A] four ears [E] cannot hear him, that five walls cannot hide him,
[A] that six diggers cannot [E] bury him, and that [B] seven death shall [E] never kill him.
