Subject: RE: Origins: Whiskey In The Jar
PW Joyce has a tune called Whiskey in the Jar (provenance "From a private in the 41st Regiment, Ballinamore, Co Leitrim") in his Old Irish Folk Music and Songs (Longman's, Green and Co, 39 Paternoster Row, London, New York, Bombay and Calcutta; Dublin, Hodges, Figgis & Co Ltd, 1909), but it's only music, no song, no mountains, no bold deceivers, no rapier and no money. It is, or was, on the Internet Archive.
