Jerry Garcia-Whiskey in the Jar
Loading...
Uploaded by koobphong on Dec 4, 2007
A quick video I made with various pix I found on the web. This version was sung by Jerry Garcia.
I like this version better than Metillca's or Thin Lizzy's b/c its mellow tone made it more human.
Lyrics
As I was a-goin' over Gilgarra mountains
I met Colonel Pepper and his money he was counting
I drew forth my pistol and I rattled my sabre
Saying "stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver"
Chorus
Musha ringum duram da
Whack fol de daddy-o
Whack fol de daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
The shining yellow coins did sure look bright and jolly
I took the money home and I gave it to my Molly
She promised and she vowed that she never would deceive me
But the devil's in the women for they never can be easy
[chorus]
When I awoke between the hours of six and seven
Guards were standing 'round me in numbers odd and even
I flew to my pistols, but alas I was mistaken
I fired off my pistols and a prisoner was taken
[chorus]
They put me in jail without a judge or jury
For robbing Colonel Pepper in the morning so early
They didn't take my fist so I knocked down the sentry
And I bid a long farewell to that cold penitentiary
[chorus]
Some take delight in fishing and bowling
Others take delight in carriage a-rollin'
I take delight in the juice of the barley
Courting pretty women in the morning so early

@GunsandRosesFan92 Whiskey in the Jar is a traditional Irish song. The Dubliners did NOT write it. They were just the first to record it.

What the hell is a "Metillaca"? Can you eat that? is that a dessert?
I like all the versions of the song, also Metallica's version.
