Brennan On The Moor Lyrics - Clancy Brothers

Oh it's of a brave young highway man this story we will tell 

His name was Willie Brennan and in Ireland he did dwell 

'Twas on the Kilworth Mountains he commenced his wild career 

And many a wealthy noble man before him shook with fear. 

And it's Brennan On The Moor, Brennan On The Moor 

Bold, brave and undaunted was young Brennan On The Moor. 

One day upon the highway as Willie went down 

He met the Mayor of Cashel, a mile outside the 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.

And it's 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 

She said, "Hand to me that tenpenny", as soon as Willie spoke 

She handed him a blunderbuss from underneath her cloak. 

For young Brennan On The Moor, Brennan On The Moor 

Bold, brave and undaunted was young Brennan On The Moor. 

Then with this loaded Blunderbuss, the truth I will unfold 

He made the Mayor to tremble and 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. 

Did young Brennan On The Moor, Brennan On The Moor 

Bold, brave and undaunted was young Brennan On The Moor.

By a falsehearted he was cruelly betrayed.
