If you search CDNow.com, you can find a 6 track import with 2 versions of
"Whiskey In the Jar on it". Other than that, the only place to buy it is on
Garage Inc. (or you could just get an MP3)

"Whiskey in the Jar"
from Garage Inc.
------
As I was goin' over
The Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell
And his money he was countin'
I first produced my pistol
And then produced my rapier
I said "stand and deliver, oh
or the devil he may take ya"
I took all of his money
And it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money, yeah
And I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she'd love me
No, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman
Yeah, for you know she tricked me easy
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Being drunk and weary
I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' Molly with me
But I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven
Yeah, in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired my pistols
And I shot him with both barrels
Yeah, musha ring dum a doo dum a da, yeah, yeah
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Yeah, whiskey
Yo, whiskey
Now some men like the fishin'
And some men like the fowlin'
And some men like to hear
To hear the cannon ball a-roarin'
Me, I like sleepin'
Especially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison
Here I am with a ball and chain yeah
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da, hey, yeah
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o, yeah
Whiskey in the jar-o, yeah
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da

It was definitely released as a single in the UK. If you're not in the
UK, you should still be able to get the single on import.
BTW, it's an ancient Irish folk song.
(np: Dr. David Bowie - Never Let Me Down)

I saw Captain Ferrall and his money he was countin'.
I first produced my pistol, and then produced my rapier,
I said "stand and deliver, or the devil he may take ya.
I took all of his money, and it was a pretty penny.
I took all of his money, and I brought it home to Molly.
She swore that she loved me, never would she leave me.
For the devil take that woman, for you know she tricked me easy.
Mush a rain dum a do dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Bein' drunk and weary, I went to Molly's chamber,
Takin' Molly with me, but I never knew the danger.
For about six or maybe seven, yeah, in walked Captain Ferrall,
I jumped up found my pistols, and I shot him with both barrells.
Mush a rain...
Now some men like a fishin', some men like the fowlin',
And some men like to hear, to hear the cannon ball a-roarin'.
Me I like sleepin', 'specially in my Molly's chamber.
Here I am in prison, Here I am with a ball and chain.
"and yes this song kicks..."
