METALLICA - WHISKEY IN THE JAR LYRICS

Whiskey In The Jar Lyrics

As I was going over the Cork and Kerry Mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said "Stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya"
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money yeah and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she loved me no never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman, yeah, for you know she tricked me easy
Musha rain dum-a-doo dum-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' my Molly with me, but I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired my pistols, and I shot him with both barrels
Musha rain dum-a-doo dum-a-da, ha, ya
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Yeah, whiskey, yo, whiskey...
Oh-oh, ya
Now some men like a fishin', but some men like the fowlin'
Some men like to hear, to hear the cannonball a-roarin'
But me, I like sleepin', `specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah
Musha rain dum-a-doo dum-a-da, ha, ya
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Whiskey in the jar-o
Musha rain dum-a-doo dum-a-da
Musha rain dum-a-doo dum-a-da, hey
Musha rain dum-a-doo dum-a-da
Musha rain dum-a-doo dum-a-da, ya.

Haha what a cool song! I heard it a few years ago but could never figure out what the name of the song was. Now that I know I listen to it constantly....it's just so addicting! :D

regal105	02/04/2006 23:08:01
this song (originally a folk song) i have heard all my life and was one of the first songs i heard by metallica.... i was hooked from day 1.

numb in the pants	09/01/2006 23:47:23
oh yeah this song is awsome (i agree with you)

numb in the pants	09/01/2006 23:46:38
godtallica- your fucking retarted. you need a more original name. i know you did that because you like metallica but you dont have to have a name like theirs.

KPrincetongirl818	04/11/2005 02:57:54

Heimdall	31/07/2005 08:42:26
The first time i ever heard this was on stickdeath as well...Rock on Metallic!!!

Jerichoholic	26/07/2005 21:18:27
I love how the Glengarry Bhoys did this song. they are a celtic rock band straight from Scotland. they did this song so good, and so differently than metallica but i love all of the versions!

godtallica88	06/05/2005 22:05:27

ajtk	25/01/2005 17:16:39
musha ring dama do dama da is the line and it is hiberno-english(english and irish from roman times)which shows the roots of the song it is a traditional song, thin lizzy didn't write it, although eric bell came up with the guitar solos so lets thank him for that

cholera666	18/12/2004 23:47:07
My bad: Musha riggum durum da.

cholera666	18/12/2004 22:48:35

THIS IS A GREAT SONG!!!! I HEARD IT ON STICKDEATH.COM ON ONE OF THE ANIMATIONS "5MOCA" IT'S KOOL! AND THIS SONG ROX!!!!

Jerichoholic	24/06/2004 15:51:26
Alright, manly bitch, if you think that the song is so stupid then why are you looking up the lyrics for it. Another thing, why do you think that you can come in here and criticize other people for their taste in music when, in reality, it is better than yours. And one last thing, LEARN HOW TO SPELL, GOD DAMN IT!

Jerichoholic	17/06/2004 17:10:37
James can sleep in My Chamber anytime!!

Jerichoholic	17/06/2004 17:10:09

igniteFUNK	02/06/2004 02:40:53
great cover song, this song gets ya pumped. METALLICA RULES

dawgbone	19/03/2004 09:18:40
no doubt this is the best version, but it is an irish drinking song covered thus far by metallica, thin lizzy, jerry garcia, irish rovers, the pogues, U2 and the rednex, theres a few others also...rock it!!!
