Heard in the early 70s at Mike Henry's club in Oxford: can anyone recall the words to a parody on Whisky in the Jar beginning
As I was going over Kilgarry Mountain
I met with De Valera and our money he was counting.

I've never heard of this, but I'm seconding the request, because that first line shows infinite promise.

Keep looking; a thread may need to be 'up' a while before the person you are looking for sees it!

Sounds great - the only parody I know (well, know of) is Tequila in the Jar, where it's Mexican/Californian instead of Irish (we'll drive around a-cruising and pretend that we are machos / pick up pretty women, take them home and feed them nachos)

Never came across this one, there was a Man Utd version way back where 'I met with Frank O'Farrell and his money he was counting', not a long lived version, as managers go, he went.

It should, of course, be 'Whiskey in the Jar'!

Did know someone who had the chorus 'There's Whiskey in the Giro'

Why should it be Whiskey?
Whiskey = Scotch Whisky = Irish
Though speaking as a teetotaller, I'm not that bothered.
