Subject: New song (4) from Steve Parkes From: Steve Parkes Date: 28 Mar 12 - 02:58 PM On reading that 'Whiskey in the jar' has been declared non grata by Ian Anderson, I suddenly remembered I'd written Jenny's reply back in 2008. Haven't you always wondered why she wet his powder? Here it is: Whiskey in the Jar – the other point of view When I was with that Kevin, the one from Killarney, He was always showing off, he'd a smashing line in Blarney. Once he pinched a pair of pistols when he'd had a drop of beer, Then he said, "Here Jenny, I've just had a great idea!" Musha … [etc] Next morning he rose early, despite a bad hangover From a record-breaking pub-crawl with this best mate, the Wild Rover, You'd think this was a hotel – when he felt like it he'd drop in: And who had to do the washing and the cleaning and the shopping? When he came home later on, well his dinner was stone-cold, But he emptied out his pockets and produced a pile of gold. He said " Who's a clever boy then, me darlin' sportin' Jenny?" Thinks I, you'll piss it up the wall and I won't see a penny! That night I took his pistols and I filled them up with water, 'Cos I knew he'd be arrested, and I didn't want no slaughter; When they picked him up next morning, he was hardly complement'ry! But I heard he got away when he knocked down a sentry. He went and joined his brother, the one that's in the army, Now they ride the range together – well, the pair of them are barmy! I suppose I'm well rid – after all, he was a mugger; But still, I must admit, that I miss the silly bugger. |
