1]. As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains, 
.    F                                                 C
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting.
.                                                 Am
I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier,
.                F                                       C
saying: "Stand and deliver", for you are a bold deceiver. Refrein
 
.      C                                           Am
2]. I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny,
.   F                                     C
I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny.
.                                                          Am
She sighed and she swore that she never would believe me,
.             F                                              C
but the devil take the women for they never can be easy. Refrein
 
.       C                                     Am
3]. I went unto my chamber all for to take a slumber,
.     F                                                  C
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder.
.                                                          Am
But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water,
.         F                                             C
then sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter. Refrein

.               C                                      Am
4]. It was early in the morning just before I rose to travel,
.      F                                             C
up comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrell.
.                                                       Am 
I first produced my pistol for she'd stolen away me rapier,
.          F                                             C
but I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken. Refrein
 
.              C                                         Am
5]. And if anyone can aid me 'tis me brother in the army,
. F                                   C
if I can find a station in Cork or in Killarney.
.                                                Am
And if he'll go with me we'll go roaming in Kilkenny,
.              F                                                  C
and I'm sure he'll treat me better than my only sporting Jenny. Refrein

How to practise this song

1
Put your capo on fret 2
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
2
Practise the barre chord F
F is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

Practise the change: F ↔ Am

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
