[00:30.47]Old Reilly stole a stallion
[00:34.64]But they caught him and they brought him back
[00:40.79]And they laid him down on the jailhouse ground
[00:45.42]With an iron chain around his neck.
[00:49.75]
[00:54.36]Old Reilly's daughter got a message
[00:59.01]That her father was goin' to hang.
[01:04.24]She rode by night and came by morning
[01:08.63]With gold and silver in her hand.
[01:13.75]
[01:20.65]When the judge he saw Reilly's daughter
[01:24.99]His old eyes deepened in his head,
[01:31.18]Sayin', 'Gold will never free your father,
[01:35.03]The price, my dear, is you instead.'
[01:40.02]
[01:53.66]'Oh I'm as good as dead,' cried Reilly,
[01:57.32]'It's only you that he does crave
[02:03.62]And my skin will surely crawl if he touches you at all.
[02:08.14]Get on your horse and ride away.'
[02:13.36]
[02:17.46]'Oh father you will surely die
[02:22.15]If I don't take the chance to try
[02:27.24]And pay the price and not take your advice.
[02:32.42]For that reason I will have to stay.'
[02:38.02]
[03:05.31]The gallows shadows shook the evening,
[03:09.30]In the night a hound dog bayed,
[03:15.35]In the night the grounds were groanin',
[03:19.31]In the night the price was paid.
[03:26.68]
[03:36.35]The next mornin' she had awoken
[03:42.10]To know that the judge had never spoken.
[03:47.72]She saw that hangin' branch a-bendin',
[03:52.80]She saw her father's body broken.
[04:00.07]
[04:04.72]These be seven curses on a judge so cruel:
[04:09.71]That one doctor will not save him,
[04:14.75]That two healers will not heal him,
[04:19.95]That three eyes will not see him.
[04:26.02]That four ears will not hear him,
[04:30.12]That five walls will not hide him,
[04:36.22]That six diggers will not bury him
[04:40.15]And that seven deaths shall never kill him.
