“Whiskey in the Jar” – Single by Thin Lizzy included on the album Vagabonds of the Western World (1991 re-issue)
Released as a single on 3 November 1972.
“Whiskey in the Jar” is about a highwayman. The details vary but the gist is that the outlaw narrator robs a military man and takes home the booty to his love who promptly betrays him. Our hero ends up in prison.
Its precise origins are unclear but it might have been inspired by the exploits of Patrick Fleming, a highwayman executed in Dublin in 1650.
Although a massive first hit for Thin Lizzy, this was actually meant to be the B-side. The band recorded “Black Boys On The Corner” as the A-side and put the old traditional Irish Song “Whiskey In The Jar” on the B-side because they didn’t have anything else. It was the record company that decided to make “Whiskey in the Jar” the A-side.
“Whiskey în the Jar” este un cântec irlandez tradițional, din zona de sud a țării.
