Song 199 (Thin Lizzy--"Whiskey in the Jar")

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! I needed to pick a song to fit today, so I came up with this one; this song was Thin Lizzy's first big hit single. The song itself is a traditional Irish folk song from either the 1600’s or 1700’s about a man who is a bandit and robs a corrupt English military leader and is deceived by his lover. It has been covered by many other artists, however the Thin Lizzy version is the one I like the most.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.
Here they are from Top of the Pops '73 on YouTube.
