[Verse 1]
F Bb F F F
Old Reilly stole a stallion
F Bb F F
But they caught him and they brought him back

And they laid him down on the Jailhouse ground
C F F
With an iron chain around his neck
[Instrumental]
F F
[Verse 2]
F F F
Old Reilly’s daughter got a message
F F F
That her father was gonna hang
Bb F F F
She rode by night and came by morning
C F F F
With gold and silver in her hand
[Verse 3]
F F F
When the judge he saw Reilly‘s daughter
F F F
His old eyes deepened in his head
F Bb F F F
Saying, gold will never free your father
F C F F F
The price, my dear, is you instead
[Verse 4]
F F F
Oh I’m as good as dead, cried Reilly
F F F
It’s only you that he does crave
F Bb G F
And my skin will surely crawl if he touches you at all
G7 F F F
Get on your horse and ride away
[Verse 5]
F F F
Oh father you will surely die
F F F
If I don‘t take the chance to try
Bb G F F
To pay the price and not take your advice
G F F F
For that reason I will have to stay
[Instrumental]
F F
[Verse 6]
F F F
The gallows shadows shook the evening
F F F
In the night a hound dog bayed
Bb F F F
In the dark the grounds were groaning
G F F
In the dark the price was paid
[Instrumental]
F F
[Verse 7]
F F F
The next morning she had awoken
F F F
She found that the judge had never spoken
Bb F F F
She saw that hanging branch a-bending
G C F F
She saw her father’s body broken
[Verse 8]
F F F
These be seven curses on a judge so cruel
F F F
That one doctor will not save him
Bb F F
That two eyes cannot see him
C F F
And the three healers cannot heal him
[Verse 9 / Outro]
F F F
That four ears will not hear him
F F F
That five walls cannot hide him
F Bb F F F
That six diggers cannot bury him
F G F F
And that seven deaths shall never kill him
