Kilgary Mountain Lyrics

Roger Whittaker Kilgary Mountain

As I was out walkin' on Kilgary Mountain
I spied Captain Pepper and his money he was countin'
I pulled out my pistols and I rattled my saber
Sayin', "Stand and deliver, for I am the bold deceiver"

Musha ring an um du rum da
Whack fol the daddy o
Whack fol the daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar

The gold and the silver it sure looked inviting
So I grabbed up the money and I took it home to Molly
She swore and she cursed that she never would deceive
me
But the devil's in the women and they never can be easy

Musha ring an um du rum da
Whack fol the daddy o
Whack fol the daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar
When I was awakened between six and seven

Now when I awoke twas between six and seven,
The guards were around me and they numbered odd and
even
I snatched for my pistols, I was mistaken
Molly had my pistols and a prisoner I was taken.

Musha ring an um du rum da
Whack fol the daddy o
Whack fol the daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar

They threw me in jail without judge or writin'
For robbing Colonel Farrel on that damned Kilgary
Mountain.
But they didn't take me fists, so I knocked the sentry
down

And bid farewell to the jail in good old Salem town

Musha ring an um du rum da
Whack fol the daddy o
Whack fol the daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar

Now some take delight in fishin' and the bowlin'
Some take delight in carriages a-rollin'
I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courtin' pretty maidens in the morning bright and
early

Musha ring an um du rum da
Whack fol the daddy o
Whack fol the daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar
