As I was going over the Park and Kerry mountains, I met with Captain Fall and his money he was
counting.
I first produced my pistol and then I threw my rapier, saying, stand and deliver for I
am the bold deceiver.
He counted out his money and it made a pretty penny.
I put it in my pocket and I brought it home to Jenny.
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me.
For the devil take the women for they never can be easy.
With your ring I'm a new lover now, quite full of the laddie-o, quite full of the laddie-o,
there's whisky in the tea-jar.
I went into me chamber, all for to have a slumber.
I dreamt of golden jewels and for sure it was no wonder, for Jenny stole me charges
and she filled them up with water.
She called on Captain Fall to make ready for the slaughter.
With your ring I'm a new lover now, quite full of the laddie-o, quite full of the laddie-o,
there's whisky in the tea-jar.
And it was early in the morning before I rose to travel.
Up came a band of fogmen and likewise Captain Farrell.
I first produced my pistol for she stole away my rapier, but I couldn't shoot the water
so a prisoner I was taken with.
With your ring I'm a new lover now, quite full of the laddie-o, quite full of the laddie-o,
there's whisky in the tea-jar.
If there's anyone can save me, it's me brothers in the army.
If I could find their station in Cork or Killarney, and if they'd come and join me,
we'd go rolling till tenny.
I'll engage and treat me better, my darling Robin Jenny.
With your ring I'm a new lover now, quite full of the laddie-o, quite full of the laddie-o,
there's whisky in the jar.
With your ring I'm a new lover now, quite full of the laddie-o, quite full of the laddie-o,
there's whisky in the jar!
