Dubliners - Maloney Wants A Drink lyrics
rate me(D. Behan)<br />
When Eve was in the garden, Adam climbed an apple tree,<br />
He went aloft up to the top, to see what he could see.<br />
He gazed in awe of what he saw, it made the poor man grieve.<br />
For Patrick John Maloney stood there, whispering to Eve...<br />
"Ah kiss me love, and miss me love<br />
And dry your bitter tears.<br />
My loving you'll remember now<br />
For many, many years.<br />
Be happy love, be satisfied, I left you in the pink.<br />
There's many a man that wants a bride.<br />
Maloney wants a drink."<br />
Salome danced for Paddy, taking off her seven veils.<br />
Salome said, "Maloney, that's a trick that never fails."<br />
Malone put Salome's oily clothing in a sack.<br />
"I'll run along now to the pawn, and bring your bundle back."<br />
"Ah kiss me love, and miss me love<br />
And dry your bitter tears.<br />
My loving you'll remember now<br />
For many, many years.<br />
Be happy love, be satisfied, I left you in the pink.<br />
There's many a man that wants a bride.<br />
Maloney wants a drink."<br />
From London to Nebraska, and from Glasgow to Hong Kong,<br />
From Cardiff to Alaska, from Peking to Saigon,<br />
Wherever girls are lonely, I know that in his role,<br />
It's there you'll find Maloney, a waiting to console...<br />
"Ah kiss me love, and miss me love<br />
And dry your bitter tears.<br />
My loving you'll remember now<br />
For many, many years.<br />
Be happy love, be satisfied, I left you in the pink.<br />
There's many a man that wants a bride.<br />
Maloney wants a drink."
