Lyrics Brennan On the Moor - The 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.
Now
Brennan
being
an
outlaw
upon
the
mountain
high
With
cavalry
and
infantry
to
take
him
they
did
try
He
Laughed
at
them
with
scorn
until
at
last
'twas
said
By
a
falsehearted
he
was
cruelly
betrayed.
And
it's
Brennan
On
The
Moor,
Brennan
On
The
Moor
Bold,
brave
and
undaunted
was
young
Brennan
On
The
Moor
