[D]
As I was riding over [Bm] the far-fim Kerry mountains, [G] I met with Captain Farrell and his [Bm] money he was counting.
[D] I first produced me pistol, [Bm] and then I drew me sabre, Say [G] I'll stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver.

[G] What for the daddy [D]-o?

I [D] had a British-made [C#m] pistol, [Bm] she stole away my [F#m] sabre, [G] I couldn't shoot the water, [D] so a prisoner I [Bm] was taken.
Mush-a-rig [E]-um-do-rum-da [A] [D]-da, What for the daddy [G]-o?

I'd like to find my [C#m] brother, he's the [Bm] one that's in the army, I [G] don't know where he's stationed, is it Port or [Bm] in Killarney?
[D] Together we'll go riding o'er [Bm] the mountains of Kilkenny, [G] Oh I know he'll treat me better [D] than my [Bm] darling's poor old Jenny.
