[00:09.96]Old Reilly stole a stallion
[00:17.35]But they caught him and they brought him back
[00:24.04]And they laid him down on the jailhouse ground
[00:29.06]With an iron chain around his neck.
[00:36.40]Old reilly's daughter got a message
[00:42.78]That her father was gonna hang.
[00:50.32]She rode by night and came by morning
[00:54.62]With gold and silver in her hand.
[01:02.21]When the judge he saw Reilly's daughter
[01:09.18]His old eyes deepened in his head,
[01:15.47]Sayin':"Gold will never free your father,
[01:21.69]The price, my dear, is you instead."
[01:28.01]"Oh I'm as good as dead," cried Reilly,
[01:34.18]"It's only you that he does crave
[01:40.76]And my skin will surely crawl if he touches you at all.
[01:45.87]Get on your horse and ride away."
[01:52.59]"Oh father you will surely die
[01:58.07]If I dont take the chance and try
[02:04.18]To pay the price and not take your advice.
[02:09.14]For that reason I will have to stay."
[02:14.20]The gallows' shadows shook the evening,
[02:22.81]In the night a hound dog bayed,
[02:29.03]In the dark the grounds were groanin,
[02:34.20]In the dark the price was paid.
[02:41.71]The next morning when she had awoken
[02:49.80]She found out that the judge had never spoken.
[02:56.26]She saw that hangin' branch abandoned,
[03:02.28]She saw her father's body broken.
[03:08.81]These be seven curses on a judge so cruel:
[03:15.24]That one doctor cannot save him,
[03:22.06]That two eyes cannot see him,
[03:27.67]And that three healers cannot heal him.
[03:34.62]That four ears cannot hear him,
[03:41.50]That five walls cannot hide him,
[03:49.19]That six diggers cannot bury him,
[03:55.78]And that seven deaths shall never kill him.
