As IC was a goin' over GAmilgarra Mountain
I sFpied Colonel Farrell and his mConey he was countin'.
FCirst I drew me pistols and tAmhen I drew me rapier sayin'
"FStand and deliver for I aCm your bold deceiver."

He cCounted out his money and it mAmade a pretty penny.
I pFut in me pocket to take hCome to darlin' Jenny.
She sCighed and swore she loved me and nAmever would deceive me
But the dFevil take the women for they aClways lie so easy.

I wCent into me chamber all fAmor to take a slumber
To dFream of gold and girls and o'cCourse it was no wonder-
Me JCenny took me charges and she fAmilled them up with water
CFalled on Colonel Farrell to get rCeady for the slaughter.

NCext mornin' early befoAmre I rose to travel
A' cFame a band o' footmen and lCikewise Colonel Farrell.
I gCoes to draw me pistol for she'd sAmtole away me rapier
But a pFrisoner I was taken- I cCouldn't shoot the water.

They pCut me into jail with the jAmudge all a-writin':
"For rFobbin' Colonel Farrell on GCilgarra Mountain."
But they dCidn't take me fists so I kAmnocked the jailer down
And bFid a farewell to this tCight-fisted town.

I'd lCike to find me brother the oAmne that's in the army.
I dFon't know where he's stationed in CCork or in Killarney.
TCogether we'd go roamin' o'er the mAmountains of Kilkenny
And I sFwear he'd treat me fairer than me dCarlin' sportin' Jenny.

And sFome takes delight in the hCurley or the bollin'.
But IC takes delight in the jAmuice of the barley
CFourtin' pretty maids in the mCornin' oh so early.
