  Whiskey in the Jar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Whiskey in the Jar" is a famous Irish traditional song about a highwayman (usually in the Kerry mountains), who is betrayed by his wife or lover.
As evidence for this, Lomax cites the similarities between "Whiskey in the Jar" and John Gay's The Beggar's Opera, which dates to 1728.
"Whiskey in the Jar" is the tale of a highwayman who, after robbing a military or government official, is betrayed by a woman named Jenny or Molly; whether she is his wife or sweetheart is not made clear.
