1. As I was goi-n’ o-ver    The far famed Ker-ry Mount-ains
     F                                    C
   I met with Cap-tain Fa-rrel    And his mon-ey he was count-in'
     C                                  Am
   I first pro-duced me pistol    And I then pro-duced me rap-ier
           F                              C
   Say-in' stand and de-l-iver    For you are a bold de-ceiv-er

2. I count-ed out his mon-ey    And it made a pret-ty pen-ny
     F                              C
   I put it in me  pock-et    And I took it home to Jen-ny
       C                                Am
   She sighed and she swore    That she nev-er would de-ceive me
           F                                  C
   But the de-vil take the wo-men    For they nev-er can be eas-y

               G                        C

3. I went in-to my cham-ber    All for to take a slum-ber
     F                                     C
   I dreamt of gold and jew-els    And for sure it was no won-der
       C                                 Am
   But Jen-ny drew me charges    And she filled them up with wat-er
        F                                  C
   Then sent for Cap-tain Far-rel    To be read-y for the slaugh-ter

               G                        C

      F                               C
   Up comes a band of foot-men    And like-wise Cap-tain Far-rel
     C                                       Am
   I first pro-duced me pis-tol    For she’d stol-en a-way me rap-ier
         F                                  C
   But I could-n't shoot the wat-er    So a pris-o-ner I was tak-en

               G                        C

   And oth-ers take de-light    In the hur-ley and the bow-lin'
       C                         Am
   But I take de-light    In the juice of the bar-ley
       F                                      C
   And court-ing pret-ty fair maids    In the morn-ing bright and ear-ly

               G                        C

   And if he'll go with me    We'll go rov-ing in Kil-ken-ny
           F                                      C
   And I'm sure he'll treat me bet-ter    Than me on-ly sport-ing Jen-ny
