Oh it's of a brave young highway man this story we will tell |
|
His name was Willie Brennan and in Ireland he did dwell |
|
'Twas on the Kilworth Mountains he commenced his wild career |
|
And many a wealthy noble man before him shook with fear. |
|
Chorus: |
|
And it's Brennan On The Moor, Brennan On The Moor |
|
Bold, brave and undaunted was young Brennan On The Moor. |
|
One day upon the highway as Willie went down |
|
He met the Mayor of Cashel, a mile outside the town |
|
The Mayor, he knew his features, and he said, 'young man', said he |
|
'Your name is Willie Brennan you must come along with me. |
|
Chorus: |
|
And it's Brennan On The Moor, Brennan On The Moor |
|
Bold, brave and undaunted was young Brennan On The Moor. |
|
Now Brennan's wife had gone to town, provisions for to buy |
|
And when she saw her Willie she commenced to weep and cry |
|
She said, "Hand to me that tenpenny", as soon as Willie spoke |
|
She handed him a blunderbuss from underneath her cloak. |
|
Chorus: |
|
For young Brennan On The Moor, Brennan On The Moor |
|
Bold, brave and undaunted was young Brennan On The Moor. |
|
Then with this loaded Blunderbuss, the truth I will unfold |
|
He made the Mayor to tremble and robbed him of his gold |
|
One hundred pounds was offered for his apprehension there |
|
So he with horse and saddle to the mountains did repair. |
|
Chorus: |
|
Did young Brennan On The Moor, Brennan On The Moor |
|
Bold, brave and undaunted was young Brennan On The Moor. |
|
Now Brennan being an outlaw upon the mountain high |
|
With cavalry and infantry to take him they did try |
|
He Laughed at them with scorn until at last 'twas said |
|
By a falsehearted he was cruelly betrayed. |
|
Chorus: |
|
And it's Brennan On The Moor, Brennan On The Moor |
|
Bold, brave and undaunted was young Brennan On The Moor |
