Lyrics - Maloney Wants A Drink by Dubliners

(
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."
