Black Tar Roses - Fingers Malone

I live my life with one foot in the grave
I sold my soul, there's nothing left to save
I was born dirt poor, shown how to break a door
Picking locks, cunning folks, I showed no restraint
I showed no, I showed no restraint
Full of charm, I'm a crook in vogue, I'm a lovable rogue
Saint Dismas is my Saint
Saint Dismas he is my Saint
And they call me Fingers Malone (Fingers Malone)
So light fingered you'd better never leave me alone

I'm always on the run I live outside the law
To stay one step ahead is to really know the score
I took money from the big man Jewish Bob
And I ripped him off and I stung the mob
And I showed no restraint I showed no restraint
Robbing banks, breaking out of the can
I am the country's most wanted man
Saint Dismas, Saint Dismas he is my Saint
And they call me Fingers Malone (Fingers Malone)
So light fingered you'd better never leave me alone

And they call me Fingers Malone (Fingers Malone)
So light fingered you'd better never leave me alone

The Judge he sent me down for something next to nothing
I cussed out loud and frowned, got 60 for my pleading
You can lock me up, throw away the key
But in my mind I'll plot and scheme
I'll show no restraint, I'll show no restraint
Keep it up, hand me down hard time
It's in my blood I'll always turn to crime
Saint Dismas he is my Saint
And they call me Fingers Malone (Fingers Malone)
So light fingered you'd better never leave me alone
And they call me yes they call me Fingers Malone
