[Chorus]
Maggie, Nelly and Mary-anne
Lizzie,Wullie and Phil McCann
Get yer jaiket and dont be late
Murder polis in the Gallowgate
[Verse]
In the Gallowgate on a friday night
Folk aw gathered tae see the sight
They came fae miles and miles aroon
Ten a cloak when the pub shut doon
[Chorus]
Maggie, Nelly and Mary-anne
Lizzie,Wullie and Phil McCann
Get yer jaiket and dont be late
Murder polis in the Gallowgate
[Verse]
Time up bell began tae ring
Then the barmen began tae fling
Big souls, wee souls, every kind
Aw stone drunk wae the cheap rid wine
[Chorus]
Maggie, Nelly and Mary-anne
Lizzie,Wullie and Phil McCann
Get yer jaiket and dont be late
Murder polis in the Gallowgate
[Verse]
First man oot wis big Shug Grant
Up the Celtis wis his chant
He roars that oot just tae show whos boss
He shouts Up Rangers at Bridgeton cross
[Chorus]
Maggie, Nelly and Mary-anne
Lizzie,Wullie and Phil McCann
Get yer jaiket and dont be late
Murder polis in the Gallowgate
[Verse]
Blackpool Mae came oot n ran
Foallied by a wee fat man
If he catches her, she ll surely choke
She drank his wine and she picked his poke
[Chorus]
Maggie, Nelly and Mary-anne
Lizzie,Wullie and Phil McCann
Get yer jaiket and dont be late
Murder polis in the Gallowgate
[Verse]
Danny Owens came oot tae fight
Threatens every man in sight
He trips and faws n he s oot the game
His wife ll murder him when he gets hame
[Chorus]
Maggie, Nelly and Mary-anne
Lizzie,Wullie and Phil McCann
Get yer jaiket and dont be late
Murder polis in the Gallowgate
[Verse]
Two big polis are the next wae see
Eat the Moose n John the Pea
Intae the public hoose they ran
Late night drink wae the Publican
[Chorus]
Maggie, Nelly and Mary-anne
Lizzie,Wullie and Phil McCann
Get yer jaiket and dont be late
Murder polis in the Gallowgate
