Answer 1

Thin Lizzy, "Whiskey in the Jar" Vagabonds album

Answer 2

Whiskey In The Jar--I am more familiar with Thin Lizzy's version than any other because it is an old Irish folk song and has been recorded by numerous groups

"Whiskey in the Jar" is a famous Irish traditional song about an Irish highwayman (usually in the 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, The Pogues, Peter, Paul and Mary, the LeperKhanz, the Poxy Boggards and The Limeliters. It was also given a rock veneer by Irish rock band Thin Lizzy, with iconic lead singer Phil Lynott in 1973. Thin Lizzy's version has since been covered by Pulp (1995), Ernies, Smokie, Metallica (1998) and Belle & Sebastian (2006). Jerry Garcia (of the Grateful Dead) and David Grisman recorded a Bluegrass cover of this song together.

The song's exact origins are lost in the mists of history.

Judging from the use of a rapier it is likely that the lyrics date back to at least the late eighteenth century. In at least one version, a reference to the narrator's 'sabre' is made rather than his 'rapier'. The reference to the rapier could have originally referred to a rapaire ("half-pike" in Irish) and the highwayman could have been a rapparee - Irish irregular soldiers and bandits of the 17th and 18th centuries.

All I can say is "Good luck" with picking a Best for this one

Answer 5

That version appears to be

Whiskey in the Jar
Metallica

Garage Inc

I'm staying with Metallica even though Thin Lizzy covered it first, as did others, because of the "e" in Whiskey, vs the Irish and Thin Lizzy spelling Whisky.

"Whiskey in the Jar" - this is a traditional Irish song. It's been covered by lots of artists, like the Dubliners, Metallica, and Peter Paul and Mary. So, it's hard to say which artist and original album you are referring to.
