One day upon the highway as Willie he went down
        C                                       F                      C       
 He met the mayor of Cashel a mile outside of town
        Am                                                     F                                 C    
 The mayor he knew his features and he said, Young man, said he

 Now Brennan's wife had gone to town provisions for to buy
        C                                            F                                       C 
 And when she saw her Willie she commenced to weep and cry
          Am                                           F                       C
 Said, Hand to me that tenpenny, as soon as Willie spoke

 He made the mayor tremble and he robbed him of his gold
         Am                                                    F                     C 
 One hundred pounds was offered for his apprehension there
