"Whiskey in the Jar" is a famous Irish traditional song about a highwayman in the Cork and Kerry mountains, who is betrayed by his wife or lover. It is one of the most widely performed traditional Irish songs, and has been recorded by groups such as the Dubliners and The Pogues. It was also given a rock veneer by Irish rock band Thin Lizzy, with iconic lead singer Phil Lynott. In 1973. Metallica recorded a cover of the Thin Lizzy version in 1998.

It was a favorite in Colonial America because of its irreverent attitude towards British officials.

The title "Whiskey in the Jar", heard in the chorus, has nothing to do with the rest of the lyrics to the song.
