W:2.The money in me hand, it looked so neat and jolly,
W: I took it right straight home, for to give to me Molly.
W: She swore that the loved me and she never would deceive me,
W: But the devil's in the women and they always lie so easy.
W:      Chorus
W:3.I went to me chambers to prepare myself for slumber,
W: To dream of gold and girls, and sure it is no wonder,
W: But Molly took me pistols and she filled them up with water,
W: And sent for Colonel Pepper to make ready for a slaughter
W:      Chorus
W:4.I woke next morning early, between six and seven,
W: With guards around me bed in both numbers odd and even.
W: I flew to me pistols, but alas, I was mistaken,
W: I couldn't shoot the water and prisoner I was taken.
W:      Chorus
W:5.They threw me into jail without a judge nor writing,
W: For robbing Colonel Pepper up on Kilgary Mountain.
W: But they didn't take me fists, so I knocked the jailer down,
W: And bit myself adieu to the jail in Sligo town.
W:      Chorus
W:6.Now some gets their delight in the boxing and the bowling,
W: And some gets their delight in the hurling and the rolling.
W: But I get my delight from the juice of the barley,
W: And courting pretty girls in the morning oh so early.
W:      Chorus
