Kilgary Mountain

Lyrics

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
