[INTRO]
Am C Am
[Verse 1]
The shankill butcherFs ride tonight
You Ebetter shut your windows tight
They're Amsharpening their cleavers and their Fknives
And Etaking all their whiskey by the pint
[Chorus]
'Cause everybody Amknows
If you Fdon't mind your mother's Amwords
A Amwicked wind will Fblow
Your Gribbons from your Amcurls
Everybody moan, everybody Fshake
E N.C.
The shankill butchers wanna catch you
AwakeAm
[Verse 2]
They Amused to be just like me and Fyou
They Eused to be sweet little boys
But Amsomething went horribly aFskew
Now Ekilling is their only source of joy
[Chorus]
'Cause everybody Amknows
If you Fdon't mind your mother's Amwords
A Amwicked wind will Fblow
Your Gribbons from your Amcurls
Everybody moan, everybody Fshake
E N.C.
The shankill butchers wanna catch you
AwakeAm
[Verse 3]
The shankill butchers on the Frise
TheEy're waiting till the dead of night
They're Ampicking at their fingers with theirF knives
And Ewiping off their cleavers on their thighs
[Chorus]
'Cause everybody Amknows...
If you Fdon't mind your mother's Amwords
A Amwicked wind will Fblow
Your Gribbons from your Amcurls
Everybody moan, everybody Fshake

EThe shankill butchers wanna cut you
EThe shankill butchers wanna catch you
