Kilgary Mountain

歌詞

As i was a-walkin' 'round kilgary mountain I met with captain pepper as his money he was countin' Sayin', "stand and deliver, for i am the bold deceiver" Musha rig um du rum da I rattled my pistols and i drew forth my saber Whack fol the daddy o Whack fol the daddy o There's whiskey in the jar The shinin' golden coins did look so bright and jolly I took 'em with me home and i gave 'em to my molly She promised and she vowed that she never would deceive me When i was awakened between six and seven But the devil's in the women and they never can be easy The guards were all around me in numbers odd and even I flew to my pistols, but alas i was mistaken For molly's drawn my pistols and a prisoner i was taken For robbing colonel pepper on kilgary mountain But they didn't take my fists so i knocked the sentry down They put me into jail without judge or writin' And bid a fond farewell to the jail in sligo town Now some take delight in fishin' and in bowlin' And others take delight in carriages a-rollin' But i take delight in the juice of the barley And courtin' pretty girls in the morning so early
