Bud Savoie	Lyr Req: Whisky in Jar, Jug of Punch (23)	RE: Whisky in jar	19 Apr 02
A group called "The Irish Ramblers" in the 60s did a different version of "Whisky [sic] in the Jar." The first verse and chorus went: As I was a-goin' o'er the Cork and Kerry Mountain I met with Captain Farrel and his money he was countin' First I drew my pistol then I rattled forth my rapier Sayin' "Stand and deliver, for I am your bold deceiver." CHORUS: Oh, whack fol de diddle-o, whack fol de diddle-o There's whisky in the jar [twice, biting down hard on the "r"] The Ramblers were three brothers from Ireland named Clancy, but they were too late to call themselves the Clancy Brothers or even the Irish Rovers. Anyone remember them?
