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 That made the poor man grieve For Patrick John Maloney Stood there, whispering to Eve "Come, 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, may want 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" Maloney put Salome's Only clothing in a sack "I'll run along now to the pawn And bring your bundle back" "Come, 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, may want a bride Maloney wants a drink" From London to Nebraska And from Glasgow to Hong Kong From Cardiff to Alaska From Peking to Saigon Ahh, wherever the cattle's are lonely I know that in his role Ahh, it's there you'll find Maloney Awaiting to console "Ah, come kiss me love and miss me love And dry your bitter tears My loving you'll remember For many, many years" "Be happy love, be satisfied I left you in the pink There's many a man may want a bride Maloney wants a drink"
