"muisce rinne don a do amadan" in Gaelic which means "water (whisky) made for your time" or less literally "have some whisky to pass the time". Listen carefully to the Dubliners. It is NOT "musha ringa dum a do duma da".

Wack fol the daddio is some thing like "have a big swig (of whisky) (in remembrance) of father' and nothing to do with hitting an old man. "Wacko is actually "waught" as in "willie-waught" which is Scottish/Irish for a deep draught. Look at the words to Old Lang Syne.

The Irish add "o" to the end of words same as the Australians eg righto, goodo, Jacko, Johnno etc, thus wacko and daddio or daddyo.

What does the song lyric 'musha rain dum-a-do dum-a-da' mean?

no one knows....but, I have seen other postings where it is spelled "Musha ringum duram da". there is a lot of speculation, but with no firm answers. found this: "Musha ring um a do um a da" is very very similar sounding to these Irish words: Musha => M'uishe (my whiskey) ring um a => rinne me/ (rinne = past tense of "de/an" which is "do, make, perform, carry out, commit, turn out, reach, establish"; me/ = "I, me") do => don (from "do" + "an" = "to the, for the") um a da => amada/n (fool) I would say, based on this, that "whiskey made me the fool" - man can I relate to this! other point out that Musha = Muise = indeed, in which case I would say "indeed, i am/was a fool" others say it is filler, jibberish or misstranslated gaelic. either way Whiskey in the Jar is a great song. check out Grateful Dead version.


What does much a ring dum a do dum a da mean?

The expression is "Musha ring dumb a do dumb a da", from the song "Whisky in the Jar". There is some disagreement if it is merely a melodic filler verse (no real meaning but sounds good) or if it is corrupted Gaelic for " my whiskey made a fool of me".
