Maloney Wants A Drink Lyrics - Singles - Dubliners

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"
