    Traditionally an Irish folk song, this was covered by The Dubliners in 1967 before Thin Lizzy rocked it up in 1972 for their breakthrough hit.
    The song tells the story of a bandit in southwest Ireland who robs an English Army Officer to keep his girlfriend Molly happy after she promises to love him forever. She then betrays him and the young man is taken to jail.

    Love this song - the driving force of the drums and James’s vocals are killer. The lyrics are super cool too - when you really hone in on them and listen to what’s being said. “I choked up my pistols - and shot him with both barrels” - too cool. Love it. One of my favorite all time Metallica songs.

    The song's exact origins are unknown. A number of its lines and the general plot resemble those of a contemporary broadside ballad "Patrick Fleming" (also called "Patrick Flemmen he was a Valiant Soldier") about Irish highwayman Patrick Fleming, who was executed in 1650.[2

    Thin Lizzy was the band that took an old Irish drinking song and made 'Whiskey in the jar' a rock song in the 70's... Metallica's late bassist Cliff Burton was a huge Thin Lizzy fan and a fan of bassist/ vocalist Phil Lynott (They both passed away in 1986 😪😪 Lynott from organ failure from heroin abuse... Burton in a tour bus accident).
    In 1998, Metallica were putting together a collection of cover songs for the 'Garage inc.' double CD... they decided to cover Thin Lizzy to honor Cliff Burton.

      @sumonjamal1653 2 роки тому +2

      @@4md17 If u got nothing productive to say, shut it! EVERYTHING in Metallica's career IS connected to Cliff Burton and Dave Mustaine... Mustaine was critical in shaping their early sound and aggression as a songwriter... Burton was the one who taught James Hetfield everything about melody, harmonies and progression. Metallica's music became exceptional because of Burton's contributions - that was why they got way bigger than Slayer, Exodus, Anvil, Voivod, Death Angel, etc...
      So why should we NOT honor Cliff Burton when the average Metallica fan has NO IDEA who he was unless diehards like me tell them that he and Dave Mustaine were early members?

    I loved this song off the album Garage Inc, one of my favorites from that double album. If I am not mistaken its a cover of a Thin Lizzy tune. The double album of Garage Inc was Metallica covering songs from artists that inspired them or they liked as bands. It has a very diversified portfolio of artists and songs from Skynyrd to Motorhead.

    This was a weird time for Metallica. They lost their identity for a hot minute and were trying to find themselves. The video to this song makes no sense. The Dubliners wrote the original song. The Highwaymen recorded it an released it on their album in 1962. Thin Lizzy did a version of it in 1973. Their rendition changed some lyrics and other things. Metallica covered Thin Lizzy's version which was released in 1998.
