Synopsis
The text of the song is a story of a robber who, having committed a robbery of a government official, turns out to be betrayed by a woman named Molly, or Jenny (it is impossible to answer unequivocally if she is his wife or lover). Different versions of the song refer to various cities in Ireland; such geographical diversity is caused by the folk roots of the text. The song also mentions the name of the robbed official: this is Captain Farrell or Colonel Pepper (as mentioned in the other version of the song). The song ends with a couplet in which the robber dreams of escaping from the place of detention for a subsequent return to the beautiful life. In 1998, the version of Metallica received a Grammy Award in the category "Best performance in the style of hard rock".
