W: He counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny,
W: I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny.
W: She sighed and she swore that she never would betray me,
W: but the Devil take the women, for they never can be easy
W:
W: I went into me chamber, all for to take a slumber,
W: I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder.
W: But Jenny drew me charges, and she filled them up with water,
W: and she sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter
W:
W: And 'twas early in the mornin' before I rose to travel,
W: up comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrell.
W: I then produced my pistol, for she'd stolen away my rapier,
W: but I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken
W:
W: If anyone can aid me, it's me brother in the army,
W: If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney.
W: And if he'd come and save me, we'd go roving in Kilkenny,
W: I'm sure he'd treat me better than me darling sporting Jenny
W:
W: Now some men take delight in the drinking and the roving,
W: But others take delight in the gambling and the smoking.
W: But I take delight in the juice of the barley,
W: And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
