Old Reilly stole a stallion |
| [00:17.35] |
But they caught him and they brought him back |
| [00:24.04] |
And they laid him down on the jailhouse ground |
| [00:28.59] |
With an iron chain around his neck. |
| [00:36.40] |
Old reilly's daughter got a message |
| [00:42.78] |
That her father was gonna hang. |
| [00:50.32] |
She rode by night and came by morning |
| [00:54.62] |
With gold and silver in her hand. |
| [01:01.00] |
When the judge he saw Reilly's daughter |
| [01:07.83] |
His old eyes deepened in his head, |
| [01:13.80] |
Sayin':"Gold will never free your father, |
| [01:20.38] |
The price, my dear, is you instead." |
| [01:26.17] |
"Oh I'm as good as dead," cried Reilly, |
| [01:32.28] |
"It's only you that he does crave |
| [01:38.15] |
And my skin will surely crawl if he touches you at all. |
| [01:43.28] |
Get on your horse and ride away." |
| [01:49.86] |
"Oh father you will surely die |
| [01:55.55] |
If I dont take the chance and try |
| [01:59.92] |
To pay the price and not take your advice. |
| [02:05.09] |
For that reason I will have to stay." |
| [02:13.18] |
The gallows' shadows shook the evening, |
| [02:20.87] |
In the night a hound dog bayed, |
| [02:25.41] |
In the dark the grounds were groanin, |
| [02:28.65] |
In the dark the price was paid. |
| [02:38.22] |
The next morning when she had awoken |
| [02:45.81] |
She found out that the judge had never spoken. |
| [02:50.82] |
She saw that hangin' branch abandoned, |
| [02:55.98] |
She saw her father's body broken. |
| [03:04.69] |
These be seven curses on a judge so cruel: |
| [03:09.50] |
That one doctor cannot save him, |
| [03:15.57] |
That two eyes cannot see him, |
| [03:22.20] |
And that three healers cannot heal him. |
| [03:27.92] |
That four ears cannot hear him, |
| [03:34.85] |
That five walls cannot hide him, |
| [03:41.94] |
That six diggers cannot bury him, |
| [03:48.16] |
And that seven deaths shall never kill him. |
