As [G]
I was going over [Em] the Calk and Kerry mountains, [C] I saw Captain Pharaoh and [G] his money.
He was counting.
I first produced my pistol [Em] and then produced my wave.
I [C] said, stand on the river, [G] or the devil, he may take you.
[D] Put your ring on the dude of the dice.
[C] Wait for my daddy-o.
Wait for my daddy-o.

took all of his money, and [Em] it was a pretty penny.

[Em] In my captain's barrel, [C] I jumped up, fired off my pistols, [G] and I shot him with both barrels,
