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