The Dubliners - Maloney Wants a Drink lyrics

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"
