Come, good fellows, join me while I tell a tale of lies

Of murder and deceit, you hear, it must be fate's design

That I should share a drink or five with brothers at the bar

And entertain and ascertain near and far

I've come here to investigate a crime of passions high

Two murdered lovers who in heaven's halls now quiet lie

A rake was taken to their heads, before they said amen

In fire they were entrapped and in flames they perished then

Bring us more beer, my friends are thirsty

Pour us a pint of that black stuff on me

Duty can wait, let's first let our reins loose

and enjoy this night!

This is a story no one here's heard

One killer's fury free as a bird

They tried to play heaven, I'll drag them to hell

They're gonna rot in prison to death

My ten long years of expertise will be put to the test

A soldier of the law that I am, I refuse to rest

Until the guilty apprehended stands before the court

And I finally get to light the last cigar that's in my coat

Bring us more beer, my friends are thirsty

Pour us a pint of that black stuff on me

Duty can wait, let's first let our reins loose

and enjoy this night!

This is a story no one here's heard

One killer's fury free as a bird

They tried to play heaven, I'll drag them to hell

They're gonna rot in prison to death

I've followed fast on their tail

They are hiding among you

What's new in town? Who can tell?

Let God be my witness

Bring us more beer, my friends are thirsty

Pour us a pint of that black stuff on me

Duty can wait, let's first let our reins loose

and enjoy this night!

This is a story no one here's heard

One killer's fury free as a bird

They tried to play heaven, I'll drag them to hell

They're gonna rot in prison to death

This is a story no one here's heard

One killer's fury free as a bird

They tried to play heaven, I'll drag them to hell

They're gonna rot in prison to death
