G Em As I was going over, Gilgara Mountain, C G I spied colonel Farrel, and his money he was counting. Em At first I drew my pistol, and then I drew my rapier, C G saying: "Stand and deliver, for I am your bold deciver" D7 * Musha Ringum Durum Da G ** Whack Fol the Daddy 'o Em C Whack Fol the Daddy 'o G D7 G there's whiskey in the jar G Em He counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny, C I put it in my pocket, G to take home to darling Jenny,
She sighed and swore she loved me, Em and never would decieve me, C but the Devil take the women, G for they always lie so easy
Chorus
And next morning early, Em before I rose for travel, C a-came a band of footmen, G and likewise Colonel Farrel,
I goes to draw my pistol, Em for she had stolen away my rapier, C but a prisoner I was taken, G I couldn't shoot the water
Chorus
They put into jail, Em with a judge all a writtin'. C Robbin' Colonel Farrel, G on Gilgara Mountain.
But they didn't take me fists, Em *** and I knocked the jailer down, C and bid a farewell G to this tight fisted town
Chorus
There's some takes delight, Em in the carriages and rollin'. C Some takes delight G in the Hurley or the Bollin'
But I takes delight, Em in the juice of the barley, C Courtin' pretty maids G in the mornin', oh so early.
