As I was a goin' over Kilgary mountain
I met colonel Pepper and his money he was countin'
I rattled me pistols and I drew forth my saber
Sayin' "Stand and deliver, for I am the bold deceiver."
Musha rig um du rum da
Wack fol the daddy-o
Wack fol the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar.
The shinin' golden coins did look so bright and jolly
I took 'em to me home and I gave 'em to me Molly
She vowed and she promised that she never would deceive me
But the devil's in the women and they never can be easy.
Musha rig um du rum da
Wack fol the daddy-o
Wack fol the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar.
When I was awakened between six and seven
The guards were all around me in numbers odd and even
I flew for me pistols but alas I was mistakenFor Molly's drawn my pistols and a prisoner I was taken.
Musha rig um du rum da
Wack fol the daddy-o
Wack fol the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar.
They put me in jail without judge or writin'
For robbing Colonel Pepper on that Kilgary Mountain
But they didn't take my fists so I knocked that sentry down
And bid a fond farewell to that jail in Sligo town.
Musha rig um du rum da
Wack fol the daddy-o
Wack fol the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar.
Now some take delight in fishin' and bowlin'
While others take delight in their carriages a-rollin'
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting' pretty girls in the morning so early.
Musha rig um du rum da
Wack fol the daddy-o
Wack fol the daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar...
The lyrics DARLIN' SPORTIN' JENNY of THE BROTHERS FOUR is also present in the album In person / cross-country concert (1962)
The Brothers Four sono un gruppo folk americano formatosi nel 1957 a Seattle, Washington. Bob Flick, John Paine, Mike Kirkland e Dick Foley si sono incontrati all'Università di Washington, dove erano membri della fraternità Phi Gamma Delta nel 1956 (da cui il soprannome "Brothers"). Le loro prime performance professionali furono il risultato di uno scherzo giocato loro nel 1958 da una fraternità rivale, che aveva organizzato qualcuno per telefonare a loro, fingendo di essere del Colony Club di Seattle, e invitarli ad andare al club per un'audizione. Anche se non erano previsti all'interno del club, furono comunque lasciati cantare alcune canzoni e in seguito assunti. Flick ricorda di essere stato pagato "per lo più con la birra". Il gruppo ha raggiunto il successo nazionale negli anni '60 con brani come "Greenfields", "The Sound of Silence" e "Try to Remember". Sono noti per le loro armonie vocali e per l'interpretazione di canzoni folk tradizionali e originali.

Do we want to define "I know you know me" a masterpiece? Yes, without a shadow of a doubt for at least two reasons. The first and most evident are the artists who interpret it: Caroline Spence and Matt Berninger, second for the deep and poetic text.
My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
