Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for posting the music video of CELTICA performing the traditional Irish Folk song "Whiskey in the Jar" at Pier 60 in New York City in 2014.
"Legends And Visions" brought CELTICA also to the Big Apple: Celtica performed at the "Whiskey Live" at Pier 60 and played a full show at The Drom presenting their brand new CD in context of the Tartan Week 2014, the biggest Scottish event in New York.

These are the full lyrics to "Whiskey in the Jar" - Traditional Irish Folk
Lyrics
"As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced me pistol and I then produced me rapier
Saying "Stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver

Mush-a ring duram do duram da
Whack fol da daddy-o
Whack fol da daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy

Mush-a ring duram do duram da
Whack fol da daddy-o
Whack fol da daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder
But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water
Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter

Mush-a ring duram do duram da
Whack fol da daddy-o
Whack fol da daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

'Twas early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell
I first produced me pistol for she'd stolen away me rapier
But I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken

Mush-a ring duram do duram da
Whack fol da daddy-o
Whack fol da daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Now there's some take delight in the carriages a-rollin'
And others take delight in the hurley and the bowlin'
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early

Mush-a ring duram do duram da
Whack fol da daddy-o
Whack fol da daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

If anyone can aid me 'tis me brother in the army
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' in Killkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than me own me sporting Jenny

Mush-a ring duram do duram da
Whack fol da daddy-o
Whack fol da daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Mush-a ring duram do duram da
Whack fol da daddy-o
Whack fol da daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar"
