That Man Malloy


CHORUS:
That man Malloy won’t die Malloy won’t die
Malloy won’t give it up
That man Malloy won’t die
Let that be a warning

That man Malloy won’t die Malloy won’t die
Malloy won’t give it up
That man Malloy won’t die
See you in the morning


Michael Malloy worth more dead than alive (ohhh)
His five eager friends had a vision
A road they would pave from the bottle to the grave
But they’re never gonna get that man never gonna get that man (ohhh)
Never gonna get that man never gonna get that man


They left him to freeze on a bench among the trees
They plied him with liquor and poison
Gave him tacks and glass to eat
Ran him down in the street
But they’re never gonna get that man never gonna get that man (ohhh)
Never gonna get that man never gonna get that man


On a cold lonely night
They turned on the gas and turned out the light
His story brought him glory
But the fame that followed
Didn’t make it right
Having friends is complicated


Despite all their games
There were doubts about their claims (ohhh)
With no one to blame but each other
They would sing of their affair
From the stand to the chair
Their wives and children cried
But the devil doesn’t care because
