Thank you very much.
Riley stole a stallion
They caught him and they brought him back
And they laid him down on the jailhouse ground
With an iron chain around his neck
When Riley's daughter got a message
That her father was a-going to hang
She wrote by night and came the morning
With gold and silver in her hand
When the judge saw Riley's daughter
His old eyes turned to see
Deepened in his head
Saying gold will never free your father
Now the price, my dear, she won't stay
Oh, I'm as good as dead, cried Riley
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 do not take the chance to try
Oh, I'm as good as dead, cried Riley


And pay the price
And not take your advice
For this reason I'll have to stay
The gallows' shadows shook the evening
And in the night a hound dog bayed
In the night the grounds was a-growing
In the night the price was paid
In the night the price was paid
In the night the price was paid
Next morning she had awoken
To find that the judge had never spoken
She saw the hanging branch have ended
She saw her father's body broken
She saw the hanging branch have ended
Seven curses and a judge so cruel
That one doctor cannot save him
Two healers cannot heal him
Three eyes cannot see him
Four ears cannot see him
Five ears cannot hear him
Five walls cannot hide him
Six beggars cannot buy him
Seven deaths shall never kill him
She did her best that died
And I bow out in faith
The fate hasogen
That is rakid
You did your best
