Song lyrics
As I was going over the Cork and Kerry mountains 
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was counting 
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier 
I said "stand and deliver or the devil he may take you" 

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-do-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 
Taking Molly with me, but I never knew the danger 
For about six or maybe seven, yeah, in walked Captain Farrell 
I jumped up, fired my pistols, and I shot him with both barrels, 
yeah 

Musha rain dum-a-do-dum-a-da, yeah-yeah-yeah 
Whack for my daddy-o 
Whack for my daddy-o 
There's whiskey in the jar-o 

Now some men like the fishing and some men like the fowling 
And some men like to hear, to hear the cannonball all roaring 
Me I like sleeping, especially in my Molly's chamber 
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah 

Musha rain dum-a-do-dum-a-da, yeah 
Whack for my daddy-o 
Whack for my daddy-o 
There's whiskey in the jar-o, yeah 

Whiskey in the jar-o, yeah 

Musha rain dum-a-do-dum-a-da 
Musha rain dum-a-do-dum-a-da, hey 
Musha rain dum-a-do-dum-a-da 
Musha rain dum-a-do-dum-a-da, yeah

great song, it´s really exciting to hear it. there´s a video on a web site that does all the things that the songs do, you can find it on www.stickdeath.com and you look where it says 5moca(whisky in the jar). tell me if you like it.

having an irish background i've known this song for awhile...is over 200 years old and an awesome folk song!! metallica has of course done it justice!! thin lizzy as well as flogging molly (which has some really awesome songs...they have awesome concerts and the moshing is always top notch!) have done covers of this folk song!

enjoy guys!!

I.love.this.
Ever since I was little my father or my oldest brother would play this song and I would totally start headbanging. I love this version of it the best; Probably one of the best songs by Metallica in my opinion.

You cant give Metallica credit for the lyrics guys....this isnt their song in case you didnt realize it. You can give them credit for doing it better than the original though. They did is amazzzzingly.
