Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell

F                              C
I first produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier

Am*                  F*          G*             Am*

And others take delight in the hurling and the bowling

F                         C
But I take delight in the juice of the barley

Am*                 F*                G*                 Am*

If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney

And if he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' through Killkenny
