Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear

And he shows them pearly white

Just a jack knife has macheath dear

And he keeps it out of sight

When the shark bites

With his teeth dear

Scarlet billows start to spread

Fancy gloves though wears macheath dear

So there's not a trace of red

On the side walk sunday morning

Oh lies a body oozing life

Someone's sneaking around the corner

Is that someone mack the knife

From a tugboat by the river

A cement bag is dropping down

And the cement just

For the weight dear

Back to mackie's back in town

Louis Miller

Disappear dear

After drawing out his cash

And mackheath spends like a sailor

Did that boy do something rash

Sookie Taudry Jenny Diver

Harly Pichu Lucy Brown

Oh the line forms on the right dear

Now the mackie's back in town
