Vocals & arrangement by Farya Faraji. This is an Irish folk song, whose exact origins are unknown, but it’s speculated that it descends from 17th century songs about highwaymen who roamed the many regions of Ireland. This arrangement uses the Seagull Merlin, the fiddle and the flute.
Lyrics:
As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol, and then produced my rapier.
Said stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver,
Musha ring dumma do damma da
Whack for the daddy ‘ol
Whack for the daddy ‘ol
There’s whiskey in the jar
I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny.
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny.
She sighed and she swore, that she never would deceive me,
But the devil take the women, for they never can be easy
I went into my chamber, all for to take a slumber,
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder.
But Jenny took me charges and she filled them up with water,
Then sent for captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter.
It was early in the morning, as I rose up for travel,
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrel.
I first produced my pistol, for she stole away my rapier,
I couldn’t shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken.
If anyone can aid me, it’s my brother in the army,
If I can find his station down in Cork or in Killarney.
And if he’ll come with me, we’ll go roving near Kilkenny,
And I swear he’ll treat me better than my own disporting Jenny
