The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem - William bloat

^GIn a mean abode on the S^Chankill Road Lived a m^Gan named ^DWilliam B^Gloat He ha^Cd a wife, the ^Gbane of his ^Emlife Who alw^Gays got his ^Dgoat So one d^Gay at dawn, with her ^Cnightdress on He sl^Git her ^Dbloody t^Ghroat

^GWith a razor gash he set^Ctled her hash and ^Gnever was ^Dcrime so ^Gquick but the ^Csteady drip on the ^Gpillow^Emslip of her ^Glifeblood made him ^Dsick And the ^Gpool of gore on the b^Cedroom floor grew ^Gclotted and ^Dcold and ^Gthick

^GNow, he was glad that ^Che'd done what he had As she^G lay there s^Dtiff and s^Gtill 'Til ^Csuddenly awe of the ^Gangry ^Emlaw Filled his ^Gsoul with an awful ^Dchill And to f^Ginish the fun so ^Cwell begun He de^Gcided h^Dimself to ^Gkill

^GSo he took the sheet from his ^Cwife's cold feet And he ^Gtwisted it i^Dnto a ^Grope And he h^Canged himself from the ^Gpantry^Em shelf 'Twas an ea^Gsy end, let's ^Dhope With his d^Gying breath and he ^Cfacing death He ^Gsolemnly ^Dcursed the ^GPope

^GBut the strangest turn of the w^Chole concern Is ^Gonly j^Dust ^Gbeginning He we^Cnt to hell, but his ^Gwife got ^Emwell And she's s^Gtill alive and sinn^Ding For the ^Grazor blade was B^Critish-made But t^Ghe rope^D was Belfa^Gst linen
