Great cover by thin lizzy from 1972 Enjoy please Rate and comment.

Lyrics:

As I was goin over 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

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

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

I remember hearing this in 1972 while sitting in my mom's car, and just freakin' LOVING it - distorted guitar-driven rock! (I doubt that my mom loved it...) It was released as a single in Europe - not sure about stateside. I guess that was original guitarist, Eric Bell, on guitar... Thanks for the upload, morgie8 !

"I don't know where Metallica's inspiration comes from, but if it's from me, then I fucked up" -Keith Richards  Thumbs up so everyone see

[BobaBaggins]

I first heard this song on the American version of the show "Life On Mars." I don't remember the scene anymore, but I remember this song fit it perfectly. That show had a fantastic soundtrack, and introduced me to a lot of overlooked songs from the '70s.

@davemustaineGOD Lol

Eventually I came to appreciate a classic version of a song for just that. But then I'm older. generally speaking.

No it's a drinking song or something like that.

Meaning no one really knows who wrote it or who sang it first.

no matter how good the metallica version is it will never be anywhere near as good as the original version!
