Brennan On the Moor - The Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem
'Tis of a brave young highwayman this story
I will tell
His name was Willie Brennan
And in Ireland he did dwell
It was on the Kilwood Mountain
He commenced his wild career
And many a wealthy nobleman
Before him shook with fear
It was Brennan on the moor Brennan on the moor
Bold brave and undaunted
Was young Brennan on the moor
One day upon the highway as young Willie he went down
He met the mayor of Cashiell a mile outside of town
The mayor he knew his features
And he said Young man said he
Your name is Willie Brennan
You must come along with me
It was Brennan on the moor Brennan on the moor
Bold brave and undaunted
Was young Brennan on the moor
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
She handed him a blunderbuss
From underneath her cloak
It was Brennan on the moor Brennan on the moor
Bold brave and undaunted
Was young Brennan on the moor
Now with this loaded blunderbuss
The truth I will unfold
He made the mayor to tremble
And he robbed him of his gold
One hundred pounds was offered
For his apprehension there
So he with horse
And saddle to the mountains did repair
It was Brennan on the moor
Brennan on the moor
Bold brave and undaunted was young
Brennan on the moor
Now Brennan being an outlaw upon the mountains high
With cavalry and infantry to take him they did try
He laughed at them with scorn until at last twas said
By a false-hearted woman he was cruelly betrayed
It was Brennan on the moor
Brennan on the moor
Bold brave and undaunted
Was young Brennan on the moor
