Description

In order to best represent the meaning of this Irish song, Phil Lynott’s face is in the form of a whiskey jar and there is a broken red heart connected to a ball and chain to represent his love for Molly that was destroyed because she betrayed him and was the reason for his prison sentence. He stole money from the army captain to make her happy, and she went behind his back and left him in jail for life. The ball in chain is also connected to an earring on the right side of the afro because Phil Lynott is known for wearing this style of earring. The lyrics “there’s whiskey in the jar-o” are incorporated into the design because they are the most prominent in the song.
