Brennan On The Moor by Tommy Makem
Tis of a brave young highwayman, 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 noble wealthy 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, he went down
He met the mayor of Cashell a mile outside the town
Now, the mayor, he knew his features and he said 'young
man,' said he
'Your name is Willie Brennan, you must come along with
me'
Now, Brennan's wife had gone to town, provisions for to
buy
And when she saw her Willie, she commenced to weep and
cry
Said 'hand to me that tenpenny,' as soon as Willie
spoke
