The Killigans - The Story of Tom Mathine Lyrics
Step out the way, for I’m coming throughBy now don’t you know who I amNow, buy me a drink, and we’ll get on o.k.Ah the saints and your conscience be damnedNow big Tom Mathine, was known around town,As a bully, and a prick through and throughHe’d take what he wants, and when he wanted moreYou’d pray, he didn’t want it from youWith fists hard as rock, and a temper like fireAnd a mean streak two mile wideYeah, he’d sit at the bar, and drink til he’s pissedEvery night, you’d hear the man cryThen one night a man came rolling to townWas a preacher, but he still liked to drinkHe stepped into the bar, and he sat himself downWith a glass of whiskey to thinkFrom back of the room, there came a loud crashTom had knocked that old cop off his chairHe called out, Hey preacher! Sunday school’s down the streetSo piss off, you’re not welcome in hereWell the preacher stood upSaid, I’ve one thing to sayJesus loves you, as he loves all of usBut, I’m just a man, and a sinner to bootSo Ill laugh as I’m kicking your assWell, the preacher swung twiceTom fell to the groundHe was crying, with blood on his faceAnd the preacher made the sign of the cross with his glassSaid, You’re forgiven, now get out of my place!
