We were planning to save this clip until we launch the website channel proper, however due to the response to our other Mad Dog Mcrea film here's

Whiskey in the Jar.

Many moons ago I was privileged to share a bottle of Bushmills with the late great Phil Lynott, so I'm pretty qualified to say that the Plymouth Celtic Folk Rockers do more than justice to the old classic.

For those of you around the world who like You Tube Karaoke or want to pretend you're down the pub here's the lyrics:

As I was goin over the cork and kerry mountains
I saw a captain farrell and his money he was countin
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya

Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
Theres whiskey in the jar-o

I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money and I brought it home to molly
She swore that shed love me, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy

Being drunk and weary I went to mollys chamber
Takin my money with me and I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven in walked captain farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels

Now some men like the fishin and some men like the fowlin
And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a roarin
Me I like sleepin specially in my mollys chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah
