Old Reilly stole a stallion   But they caught him and they brought him back   And they laid him down in the jail house ground   With an iron chain around his neck      Old Reilly's daughter got a message   That her father was goin' to hang   She rode by night and came by morning   With gold and silver in her hand      When the judge saw Reilly's daughter   His old eyes deepened in his head   Sayin', "Gold will never free your father   The price, my dear, is you instead"      "Oh I'm as good as dead," cried Reilly   "It's only you that he does crave   And my skin will surely crawl if he touches you at all   Get on your horse and ride away"      "Oh father you will surely die   If I don't take the chance to try   And pay the price and not take your advice   For that reason I will have to stay"      The gallows shadows shook the evening   In the night a hound dog bayed   In the night the grounds were groanin'   In the night the price was paid      The next mornin' she had awoken   To know that the judge had never spoken   She saw that hangin' branch a-bendin'   She saw her fathers body broken      These be seven curses on a judge so cruel   That one doctor can't not save him   That two healers cannot heal him   That three eyes cannot see him      That four ears cannot hear him,   That five walls cannot hide him,   That six diggers cannot bury him   And that seven deaths shall never kill him
