[C]Hey it’s [C]of a brave young highway man the [G7]story we will [C]tell
His [C]name was Willie Brennan and in [F]Ireland he did [C]dwell
'Twas [Am]on the Kilworth Mountains he com-[F]menced his wild [C]career
And [F]many a wealthy noble man be-[C]fore him shook with [Em]fear


{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
And it's [C]Brennan on the moor, [Em]Brennan on the moor
Bold, [F]brave and un-[C]daunted was young [G7]Brennan on the [C]moor
{eoc}


One [C]day upon the highway as [G7]Willie he went [C]down
He [C]met the mayor of Cashel, a [F]mile outside of [C]town
The [Am]mayor he knew his features and he [F]said, "Young man," said [C]he
"Your [F]name is Willie Brennan, you must [C]come along with [Em]me."


{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
And it's [C]Brennan on the moor, [Em]Brennan on the moor
Bold, [F]brave and un-[C]daunted was young [G7]Brennan on the [C]moor 
{eoc}


Now [C]Brennan’s wife had gone to town pro-[G7]visions for to [C]buy
And [C]when she saw her Willie she com-[F]menced to weep and [C]cry
She said [Am]“hand to me that tenpenny” and as [F]soon as Willie [C]spoke
She [F]handed him a blunderbuss from [C]underneath her [Em]cloak


{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
Young [C]Brennan on the moor, [Em]Brennan on the moor
Bold, [F]brave and un-[C]daunted was young [G7]Brennan on the [C]moor 
{eoc}


Now [C]with this loaded blunderbuss, a [G7]truth I will [C]unfold
He [C]made the mayor to tremble and [F]robbed him of his [C]gold
One [Am]hundred pounds was offered for his [F]apprehension [C]there
So [F]he with horse and saddle to the [C]mountains did re-[Em]pair


{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
Did young [C]Brennan on the moor, [Em]Brennan on the moor
Bold, [F]brave and un-[C]daunted was young [G7]Brennan on the [C]moor 
{eoc}


Now [C]Brennan being an outlaw, up-[G7]on the mountains [C]high
With [C]cavalry and infantry to [F]take him they did [C]try
He [Am]laughed at them with scorn un-[F]til at last ‘twas [C]said
By a [F]false-hearted woman he was [C]cruelly be-[Em]trayed


{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
Was young [C]Brennan on the moor, [Em]Brennan on the moor
Bold, [F]brave and un-[C]daunted was young [G7]Brennan on the [C]moor
{eoc}
