  • Lyrics – Seamus Kennedy Live!
    Seamus Kennedy Live! Lyrics – Seamus Kennedy Live! Whiskey in the Jar (Trad.) As I was goin' over the far-famed Kerry Mountains, I met Colonel Farrell and his money he was countin', I first produced my pistol, then produced my rapier, Sayin', "Stand and deliver, I am a bold deceiver." Chorus: Musha, ring-dum-a-doo-dum-a-dah, Whack fol-the daddio, Whack fol-the-daddio, there's whiskey in the jar. I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny, I put it in my pocket and I brought it back to Jenny; She sighed and she swore she never would betray me, But the devil take the women for they never can lie easy. Chorus: I then went to my chamber all for to take a slumber, I dreamt of gold and jewels, sure it was no wonder; Jenny drew my charges and filled them up with water, And sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter. Chorus: It was early in the mornin', before I rose to travel, Up came a band of footmen, likewise Captain Farrell, I first produced my pistol, she'd stolen away my rapier, I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken. Chorus: Now if anyone can aid me, it's my brother in the army, If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney, If he'll go with me, we'll go roamin' in Kilkenny, I'm sure he'll treat me better than my darlin' sportin' Jenny. Chorus: Some take delight in the hurley and the bowlin', Others take delight in the carriages a-rollin', I take delight in the juice of the barley, And courtin' married women in the mornin' bright and early.

  • Lyrics – by Popular Demand
    By Popular Demand Lyrics – By Popular Demand Finnegan's Wake (Trad.) Tim Finnegan lived in Watling St., a gentleman Irish mighty odd, He had a brogue both rich and sweet, and to rise in the world he carried a hod. Tim had a sort of a tippler's way, with a love for the liquor poor Tim was born To help him on his work each day, he'd a drop of the craytur every morn. Chorus: Whack fol-de-da now, dance to your partners, welt the floor, yer trotters shake, Wasn't it the truth I told ye, lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake. One morning Tim was rather full, his head felt heavy which made him shake, Fell off a ladder and he broke his skull, and they carried him home his corpse to wake, They wrapped him up in a nice clean sheet and laid him out upon the bed, With a barrel of whiskey at his feet and a bucket of porter at his head. Chorus: The guests assembled at the wake, when Mrs. Finnegan called for Lunch, First she brought them tea and cake, pipes, tobacco, and brandy punch. Then the Widow Malone began to cry, "Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see? "Tim mavourneen, why did ye die?" "Hould yer gob." said Molly Magee. Chorus: Then Molly Malone takes up the job; "Ah Biddy" says she, "you're wrong I'm sure." Biddy fetched her a belt in the gob that left her sprawling on the floor. Civil war did then engage, woman to woman and man to man, Shillelagh law was all the rage and a row and a ruction soon began.

    Scottish Heritage USA NEWSLETTER JANUARY 2021 Vikings leading the Hogmanay Torchlight Parade, Edinburgh ISSUE #1-2021 HAPPY NEW YEAR & HAPPY HOGMANAY! H OGMANAY may be Scotland’s New Year celebration, but it lasts three to five days with unusual, weird and wild H traditions. It starts on Christmas with the Edinburgh Torchlight Parade and is all downhill from there! Look to Scotland to find the best, most spectacular fire festivals in the UK. Combine the primitive impulse to light up the long nights (the ancient idea that fire purifies and chases away evil spirits) and the natural Scottish impulse to party to the wee small hours and you end up with some of the most dazzling and daring midwinter celebrations in Europe. At one time, most Scottish towns celebrated the New Year with huge bonfires and torchlight processions. Many have disappeared, but those that are left are real Site where the horde was found humdingers. Here are the five of the best winter fire festivals in Scotland: STONEHAVEN FIRE FESTIVAL: Strong Scots dare-devils parade through the town on New Year's Eve swinging 16-pound balls of fire around themselves and over their heads. Each "swinger" has his or her own secret recipe for creating the fireball and keeping it lit. Thousands come to watch this famous event on the North Sea, south of Aberdeen. It all gets underway before midnight with bands of pipers and wild drumming. Then a lone piper, playing Scotland the Brave, leads the pipers into town. At the stroke of midnight, they raise their flaming balls over their heads and begin to swing and twirl them, showering the street, themselves and usually the 12,000 strong crowd, with sparks.

  • “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of
    “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dana DeVlieger, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Johanna Devaney Anna Gawboy Copyright by Dana Lauren DeVlieger 2016 Abstract “Whiskey in the Jar” is a traditional Irish song that is performed by musicians from many different musical genres. However, because there are influential recordings of the song performed in different styles, from folk to punk to metal, one begins to wonder what the role of the song’s Irish heritage is and whether or not it retains a sense of Irish identity in different iterations. The current project examines a corpus of 398 recordings of “Whiskey in the Jar” by artists from all over the world. By analyzing acoustic markers of Irishness, for example an Irish accent, as well as markers of other musical traditions, this study aims explores the different ways that the song has been performed and discusses the possible presence of an “Irish feel” on recordings that do not sound overtly Irish. ii Dedication Dedicated to my grandfather, Edward Blake, for instilling in our family a love of Irish music and a pride in our heritage iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Graeme Boone, for showing great and enthusiasm for this project and for offering advice and support throughout the process. I would also like to thank Johanna Devaney and Anna Gawboy for their valuable insight and ideas for future directions and ways to improve.
