[00:03.72]Old Reilly stole a stallion
[00:09.85]But they caught him and they brought him back
[00:15.67]And they laid him down in the jailhouse ground
[00:21.82]With an iron chain around his neck.
[00:30.93]Old reilly's daughter got a message
[00:35.33]That her father was goin' to hang.
[00:40.79]She rode by night and came by morning
[00:45.55]With gold and silver in her hand.
[00:52.98]When the judge he saw Reilly's daughter
[00:59.36]His old eyes deepened in his head,
[01:03.71]Sayin':"Gold will never free your father,
[01:08.26]The price, my dear, is you instead."
[01:15.31]"Oh I'm as good as dead," cried Reilly,
[01:22.54]"It's only you that he does crave
[01:27.20]And my skin will surely crawl if he touches you at all.
[01:31.97]Get on your horse and ride away."
[01:39.35]"Oh father you will surely die
[01:46.49]If I dont take the chance to try
[01:52.21]And pay the price and not take your advice.
[01:56.10]For that reason I will have to stay."
[02:07.50]The gallows' shadows shook the evening,
[02:13.07]In the night a hound dog bayed,
[02:17.32]In the night the grounds were groanin,
[02:22.03]In the night the price was paid.
[02:30.63]The next morning she had awoken
[02:37.06]She found out that the judge had never spoken.
[02:41.46]She saw that hangin' branch abandoned,
[02:46.77]She saw her father's body broken.
[02:55.96]These be seven curses on a judge so cruel:
[03:01.30]That one doctor cannot save him,
[03:06.32]That two healers cannot heal him,
[03:13.34]And that three eyes cannot see him.
[03:21.08]That four ears cannot hear him,
[03:25.58]That five walls cannot hide him,
[03:30.14]That six diggers cannot bury him,
[03:35.05]And that seven deaths shall never kill him.
