In a list of "newest songs,' printed in Edinburgh in 1855- Whisky in the Jar. That version had the chorus Mush a ring a do a da, fal lal da do da addy, Mush a ring a do a da, there's whisky in the jar.

Musha ding a ring a ra etc. there's whiskey in the jar was printed in England at the same time.

Perhaps there should be a thread with nothing but 'whack' choruses and songs. A few:

Song- Whack! Row De Dow-
(No fool is Yankee Doodle Dandy)

Song- I never take more than my whack.

Song- Whack for the Emerald Isle

Song- Finigan's Wake- Whack, hurrah, dance to your partners; whack, hurroo boys...

Song- The Irishman's Shanty- Now boys, one for the Paddy,
Whack! Paddy's the boy!

Song- McGuffins Home Run- You hit it a whack, now...

Song- The Lanigan's Ball- Whack! Fal lal, fal la, tal ladeddy etc.

Song- Paddy Whack- Di du Mack Whack, I am just from the town of Bally hack, where seven praties weigh a ton.

Song- August the One- Whack fol de rol de ri do, etc.

Song- The Eight-hour System- Whack row de dow...

Song- Paddy's Dream- Fal lal lue, ful lal lue, whack fad de riddle,

.and so on ad nauseum.
