Old Reilly stole a stallion |
| [00:09.85] |
But they caught him and they brought him back |
| [00:15.67] |
And they laid him down in the jailhouse ground |
| [00:21.82] |
With an iron chain around his neck. |
| [00:30.93] |
Old reilly's daughter got a message |
| [00:35.33] |
That her father was goin' to hang. |
| [00:40.79] |
She rode by night and came by morning |
| [00:45.55] |
With gold and silver in her hand. |
| [00:52.98] |
When the judge he saw Reilly's daughter |
| [00:59.36] |
His old eyes deepened in his head, |
| [01:03.71] |
Sayin':"Gold will never free your father, |
| [01:08.26] |
The price, my dear, is you instead." |
| [01:15.31] |
"Oh I'm as good as dead," cried Reilly, |
| [01:22.54] |
"It's only you that he does crave |
| [01:27.20] |
And my skin will surely crawl if he touches you at all. |
| [01:31.97] |
Get on your horse and ride away." |
| [01:39.35] |
"Oh father you will surely die |
| [01:46.49] |
If I dont take the chance to try |
| [01:52.21] |
And pay the price and not take your advice. |
| [01:56.10] |
For that reason I will have to stay." |
| [02:07.50] |
The gallows' shadows shook the evening, |
| [02:13.07] |
In the night a hound dog bayed, |
| [02:17.32] |
In the night the grounds were groanin, |
| [02:22.03] |
In the night the price was paid. |
| [02:30.63] |
The next morning she had awoken |
| [02:37.06] |
She found out that the judge had never spoken. |
| [02:41.46] |
She saw that hangin' branch abandoned, |
| [02:46.77] |
She saw her father's body broken. |
| [02:55.96] |
These be seven curses on a judge so cruel: |
| [03:01.30] |
That one doctor cannot save him, |
| [03:06.32] |
That two healers cannot heal him, |
| [03:13.34] |
And that three eyes cannot see him. |
| [03:21.08] |
That four ears cannot hear him, |
| [03:25.58] |
That five walls cannot hide him, |
| [03:30.14] |
That six diggers cannot bury him, |
| [03:35.05] |
And that seven deaths shall never kill him. |
