Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
Brennan On The Moor
C | G7 | C |
Tis of a brave young highwayman this | story I will | tell |
| C | F | C |
His | name was Willie Brennan and in | Ireland he did | dwell |
| Am | F | C |
It was | on the Kilwood Mountain he com | menced his wild car | eer |
| F | C | Em |
And | many a wealthy nobleman be | fore him shook with | fear |
C | Em |
Brennan on the moor, | Brennan on the moor |
| F | C | G7 | C |
Bold, | brave un | daunted 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
Brennan on the moor, Brennan on the moor
Bold, brave 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
Brennan on the moor, Brennan on the moor
Bold, brave undaunted was young Brennan on the moor
Now with this loaded blunderbuss - the truth I will unfold -
He made the mayor 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
Brennan on the moor, Brennan on the moor
Bold, brave 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 undaunted was young Brennan on the moor
