[00:09.96]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.
