This song has an alternate take known as "Molly's Hangover", which is slower until towards the end, and features a different style of back-up vocals and guitar solos.

Composition

The title is taken from a line in Thin Lizzy's version of the traditional Irish folk song "Whiskey in the Jar".^[2] "Molly's chambers" is archaic slang for a brothel.
