This is a large part of the appeal of that staggeringly pop Irish song, Whiskey in the Jar, which has been recorded by folk and rock bands alike, including Metallica.

Whiskey in the Jar tells the story of a highwayman who stalks the Cork and Kerry mountains in Ireland. He is bold enough, or careless enough, to rob Captain Farrell, an officer in the British army.

The next forenoon as the highwayman ventures out again, he finds himself ambushed by Captain Farrell and his footmen.
He tries to shoot at them but his pistol won’t work because the pulverise is wet. He reaches for his saber but the fallacious Jenny has already taken it from him.
Rendered defenselessly, he is captured and taken captive.
While in jail, he curses his fraudulent Jenny but doesn’t tarry in for long. Soon he is looking to the time to come and considering whether his brother could come and help him.
He hopes that his comrade will be able to help him break away from jail and bring back to the highwayman modus vivendi.
