Next morning early<br />
before I rose to travel<br />
A-came a band of footmen<br />
and likewise colonel Farrel.<br />
I goes to draw my pistols<br />
for she'd stolen away my rapier,<br />
but a prisoner I was taken,<br />
I couldn't shoot the water,<br />
musha ....<br />
They put me into jail<br />
with a judge all a-writin'<br />
robbin' colonel Farrel<br />
on Gilgarra Mountain<br />
but they didn't take my fists<br />
so I knocked the jailer down<br />
and bid a farewell<br />
to this tight fisted town<br />
musha ....<br />
I'd like to find my brother<br />
the one that's in the army<br />
I don't know where he's stationed<br />
in cork or in Killarny.<br />
Together we go roamin'<br />
o'er the mountains of Kilkenny<br />
and I swear he'd treat me fairer<br />
than me darlin' sporting Jenny<br />
musha ....<br />
There's some take delight<br />
in the carriages a-rollin'<br />
some takes delight<br />
in the nurley and the bowling<br />
but I take delight<br />
in the juice of the barley<br />
courtin' pretty maids<br />
in the mornin' on so early<br />
