It depends on the version your looking for. The original was an Irish folk song and was redone about 15 times. The most memorable were Thin Lizzy on Vagabonds of the Western World. That version was covered by Metallica on Garage Inc.

Hope this helps.

I could be the Elvis did Whiskey in the Jar. The Thin lIzzy version is from 1973 and The King died in 77. But most likey the "Elvis version" foundon the internet is from Elvis inpersonator Jim Brown. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5BTgNv9_Vg I think its save to say that the real KING never sung a version of Whiskey in the jar !!
