[A] As I was going [F#m] over the far-famed Kenny Mountains, [D] I met with Captain Farrell [A] and his money he was counting.
They first produced me pistol [F#m] and I then produced me rapier,
[D] Sinkstand and a nimmer, [A] but I am the boldest sabre [E]-muster in the new limanada.
[A] Whack-ball the daddy [D]-o, whack-ball the daddy [A]-o, and his whiskey is a charm.
I counted out his money, [F#m] it made a pretty penny, [D] I put it in my pocket and [A] I took it home to Jenny.
She's silent, she's sore, [F#m] she never was just asleep, [D] but that devil took my [A] word for it and never can be easy.
[E] What shall we do, limanada?
[A] Whack-ball the daddy [D]-o, whack-ball the daddy [A]-o, and his whiskey is a charm.
I went up to my chamber, [F#m] called for to take a slumber, [D] I dumped up gold and jewels, [A] I'm sure it was no wonder.
Jenny threw me charges and [F#m] she filled them up with water, [D] and sent for Captain Farrell [A] to be ready for the slaughter.
[E] What shall we do, limanada?
[A] Whack-ball the daddy [D]-o, whack-ball the daddy [A]-o, and his whiskey is a charm.
It was early in the [C#m] morning, before I rose to [D] trouble, up comes a man, a fat [A] man in a light-white cap, and Farrell, he forced me to do something,
[F#m] for she stole away my rapier, [D] I couldn't shoot the water, [A] so I'm a prisoner, I am a [E] slave.
What shall we do, limanada?
Whack-ball the daddy [D]-o, whack-ball the daddy [A]-o, and his whiskey is a charm.

If anyone can aid me, it's [C#m] my brother in the [D] army, if I can find a station [A] in Cork or in Killarney,
and if he can go with me, [F#m] we can go roaming through Kilkenny, [D] I'm sure it should be [A] better than my own despoiled Jenny.
[E] What shall we do, [A] limanada?
Whack-ball the daddy [D]-o, whack-ball the daddy [A]-o, and his whiskey is a charm.
This song's to take delight [F#m] in the carriages of old, [D] and others take delight [A] in the horny and the bold,
but I take delight [F#m] in the juice of the [D] party, and caroling pretty [A] fairies in the morning bright and [E] early.
What shall we do, limanada?
[A] Whack-ball the daddy [D]-o, whack-ball the daddy [A]-o, and his whiskey is a charm.
