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
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
Theres whiskey in the jar-o
I took all of his money
and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money
and I brought it home to molly
She swore that shed love me,
never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman
for you know she tricked me easy
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
Theres whiskey in the jar-o
Being drunk and weary
I went to mollys chamber
Takin my money with me
and I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven
in walked captain farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistols
and I shot him with both barrels
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
Theres whiskey in the jar-o
Now some men like the fishin
and some men like the fowlin
And some men like ta hear
a cannon ball a roarin
Me I like sleepin
specially in my mollys chamber
But here I am in prison,
here I am with a ball and chain yeah
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
Theres whiskey in the jar-o

Love me some Thin Lizzy.
Differently an underrated band IMO.

Lizzy were awesome, and this is coming from a hip-hop fan. Metallica murdered this song though.

One of my dad's absolute favorite songs, and by proxy, one of mine too. Always turn this up whenever its on the radio.

Love both versions. It's not TL's song though I think; actually an old traditional song.

Metallica's version is better Yeah, what he said. I have a hard time listening to originals once I like a cover better. Other covers I liked better than the original, Cat's in the Cradle (Ugly Kidd Joe) Turn the Page (Metallica) Your Momma Don't Dance (Poison) and Jailhouse Rock (Motley Crue) |

AT A POINT BELOW ZERO...
There's no place left to go
Six hundred unknown heroes
Were killed like sleeping buffalo
Through the devil's canyon
Across the battlefield
Death has no companion
The spirit is forced to yield
There goes the bandolero
Through the hole in the wall
He's a coward but doesn't care though
In fact, he doesn't care at all
The general that's commanding
He's defending what he fears
While the troops they are depending
On reinforcements from the rear
If God is in the heavens
How can this happen here?
In His name, they used the weapons
For the massacre
There is a point below zero
Where the sun can see the land
Six hundred unknown heroes
Lay dead in the sand
BTW, Phil Lynott is a GOD!!!!
