Brennan On The Moor - The Clancy Brothers

'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
