Good version Thin Lizzy and Metallica's versions good too depending on what mood your in

[Lemious]

me and the by's were singing this last night. good music is good music, no matter the generation.

[SlayerRiley]

The "best version" would be you singing this song with your pals completely shit-faced.

This could be the second best version though

[DARKSCOOTERGIRL]

¿Podrias añadir la letra, por favor? Es que algunas frases son dificiles de entender para los que sabemos poco ingles, gracias.

Could you add the lyrics, please? Is that some sentences are difficult to understand for those who know little English, thanks.

@DARKSCOOTERGIRL... Go to Google and search: Dubliners - Whiskey in the Jar Lyrics

[PsychicWarVet]

I prefer Thin Lizzy version With this next i play them both on St Patty's at some point I love internet juke boxs

[successo09]

I totally agree with you! This one is really the best. Has to be of the beginnings of 'The Dubliners'?!

[jtzproductions]

I thought Metallica had made this song, I feel so dumb now haha

[ninelivecat]

@jtzproductions It's an old song nobody is actually sure who wrote it but their are many different versions with altered lyrics of it in different countries

[ParallelSurvivor187]

@jtzproductions Nah Metallica covered Thin Lizzys version, who covered this version.

[SammyMelody]

[patrickspoint]

This is Luke Kelly, the most distinctive voice I've ever heard, he's in a league of his own.

[ApexCadaver]

For being the best Version... it sure does skip alot... :(

[Mslary1810]

[tyrconnellabu]

Wish I had some Whiskey in me jar!, ..great song, Thin Lizy's a great version too

[Jaguar62amerstd]

@tyrconnellabu this is the thin lizzy version, at least a cover of it.

[tyrconnellabu]

@Jaguar62amerstd

Not quite sure what you mean!, The Dubliners wrote the song so therefore Thin Lizzy must have covered their version, if I'm wrong please correct me.

[hylkeenteroittaja]

@tyrconnellabu The song is hundreds of years old.

[tyrconnellabu]

@hylkeenteroittaja continued; ..The American metal band Metallica brought it to a wider rock audience in 1998 by playing a version very similar to that of Thin Lizzy's with a heavier sound, and won a Grammy for the song in 2000 ;

[patrickspoint]

@tyrconnellabu... The Dubliners have been singing this song for about 50 years, but they didn't write it. It goes way back to the 17th century, to the days of the Rapparees or Highwaymen. The narrator is a Highwayman and he speaks the Highwayman’s demand when he says, "stand and deliver." He mentions rapier and pistol, weapons that were popular in the 17th century. So it’s over 300 years old.

[tyrconnellabu]

@patrickspoint

Yes, ...I have already acknowledged that the Dubliners didn't write the song after looking it up, thanks for your info.

[MegaJackbest]

[Ashymoriarty5]

[usa2cc272]

Cheers
