Thin Lizzy's "Whiskey in the Jar" on Top of the Pops (1973)

RIP Phil

February 1st 1973 - Thanks Glamking1!

From Wikipedia:
"In late 1972, the band embarked upon a high-profile tour of the UK with Slade, who were enjoying a string of hit singles at the time, and Suzi Quatro. Around the same time, Decca decided to release Thin Lizzy's version of a traditional Irish ballad, "Whiskey in the Jar" as a single. The band was angry at the release, feeling that the song did not represent their sound or their image but the single topped the Irish chart, and reached No.6 in the UK in February 1973, resulting in an appearance on Top of the Pops."

As I was a goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw a Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol, then produced my rapier
I said "Stand o' deliver" or the devil he may take you

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

I took all of his his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his his money and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she loved me never would leave me
But the devil take that women for you know she tricked me easy

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

Some men like a fishin' some men like a fowlin'
And some men like to hear to a cannonball a roarin'
But me I like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber
And here I am in prison here I man with a ball and chain

Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

And I got drunk on whiskey-o
And I loved, I loved, I loved, I loved, I loved, loved, I loved my Molly-o
