    Here's the lyrics in case anyone wants them:
    As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains
    I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
    I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier
    Saying "Stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver
    Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
    Whack fall the daddy-o, whack fall the daddy-o
    There's whiskey in the jar
    I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
    I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny
    She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
    But the devil take the women for they never can be easy
    Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
    Whack fall the daddy-o, whack fall the daddy-o
    There's whiskey in the jar
    I went unto my chamber, all for to take a slumber
    I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder
    But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water
    Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter
    Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
    Whack fall the daddy-o, whack fall the daddy-o
    There's whiskey in the jar
    'Twas early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
    Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell
    I first produced me pistol for she'd stolen away me rapier
    But I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken
    Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
    Whack fall the daddy-o, whack fall the daddy-o
    There's whiskey in the jar
    Now there's some take delight in the carriages a rollin'
    And others take delight in the hurling and the bowling
    But I take delight in the juice of the barley
    And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early
    Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
    Whack fall the daddy-o, whack fall the daddy-o
    There's whiskey in the jar
    If anyone can aid me 'tis my brother in the army
    If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
    And if he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' in Kilkenney
    And I'm sure he'll treat me better than me own me sportin' Jenny
    Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
    Whack fall the daddy-o, whack fall the daddy-o
    There's whiskey in the jar
    Mush-a ring dumb-a do dumb-a da
    Whack fall the daddy-o, whack fall the daddy-o

I laughed so hard when I realised the Metallica song I thought was so metal was what he put me to sleep with years before.
