  1. An Old Song

    “There is a man named Miks Malone,”

    Share Share Post
    There is a man named Mike Malone
    And I am on his back
    He borried a half-crown from me
    And never paid me back
    But I'll be level with Malone
    I'll give him cause to groan
    For I'm the boy that will wallop it out
    Of Malone, Malone, Malone.
    I met Malone alone
    And I asked Malone to pay
    And when Malone saw me alone
    Malone said "Git away"
    A half-a-crown is a half-a-crown
    As I have said before
    But instead of paying me what he owes
    He tries to borrow more.
