[F]Old Reilly 
[Bb]stole [F]a stallion[F][F]
[F]But they caught him 
and they [Bb]brought [F]him back[F]
[Bb]And they laid him[G] down
[F]on the Jailhouse ground
[C]With an iron chain 
around his [F]neck [F]

[F][F]

[F]Old Reilly's 
daughter got a message[F][F]
[F]That her father 
was gonna hang[F][F]
[Bb]She rode by [F]night 
and came by morning[F][F]
[C]With gold and silver 
in her [F]hand [F][F]

[F]When the judge 
he saw Reilly‘s daughter[F][F]
[F]His old eyes 
deepened in his head[F][F]
[F]Saying gold [Bb]will 
[F]never free your father[F][F]
[F]The [C]price my dear 
is you [F]instead [F][F]

[F]Oh I'm as good as dead 
cried Reilly[F][F]
[F]It's only you 
that he does crave[F][F]
[F]And my skin will 
[Bb]surely [G]crawl 
if he [F]touches you at all
[G7]Get on your horse 
and [F]ride away [F][F]

[F]Oh father 
you will surely die[F][F]
[F]If I don‘t take 
the chance to try[F][F]
To [Bb]pay the [G]price 
[F]and not take your advice[F]
[G]For that reason 
I will [F]have to stay [F][F]

[F][F]

[F]The gallows shadows 
shook the evening[F][F]
[F]In the night 
a hound dog bayed[F][F]
[Bb]In the dark 
the [F]grounds 
were groaning[F][F]
[G]In the dark 
the price was [F]paid [F]

[F][F]

[F]The next morning 
she had awoken[F][F]
[F]She found that the judge 
had never spoken[F][F]
[Bb]She saw that hanging 
[F]branch a-bending[F][F]
[G]She saw 
[C]her father's 
body [F]broken [F]

[F]These be seven curses 
on a judge so cruel[F][F]
[F]That one 
doctor will not save him[F][F]
[Bb]That two 
eyes [F]cannot see him[F]
[C]And the three 
healers cannot heal him [F][F]

[F]That four 
ears will not hear him[F][F]
[F]That five 
walls cannot hide him[F][F]
[F]That [Bb]six 
diggers [F]cannot bury him[F][F]
[F]And that [G]seven deaths 
shall never kill him[F][F]
