[00:12.49] The Shankill butchers ride tonight
[00:17.61] You'd better shut your windows tight
[00:23.74] They're sharpening their cleavers and their knives
[00:29.03] And taking all their whiskey by the pint
[00:34.12] 'Cause everybody knows if you don't mind your mother's words
[00:46.19] A wicked wind will blow your ribbons from your curls
[00:56.62] Everybody moan, everybody shake
[01:03.38] The Shankill butchers want to catch you awake
[01:19.57] They used to be just like me and you
[01:24.32] They used to be sweet little boys
[01:29.58] But something went horribly askew
[01:35.06] Now killing is their only source of joy
[01:39.88] 'Cause everybody knows if you don't mind your mother's words
[01:51.31] A wicked wind will blow your ribbons from your curls
[02:01.70] Everybody moan, everybody shake
[02:07.67] The Shankill butchers want to catch you awake
[02:46.36] The Shankill butchers on the rise
[02:51.34] They're waiting 'till the dead of night
[02:56.56] They're picking at their fingers with their knives
[03:01.78] And wiping off their cleavers on their thighs
[03:06.67] 'Cause everybody knows if you don't mind your mother's words
[03:17.15] A wicked wind will blow your ribbons from your curls
[03:27.37] Everybody moan, everybody shake
[03:32.69] The Shankill butchers want to catch you
[03:38.52] The Shankill butchers want to cut you
[03:43.06] The Shankill butchers want to catch you awake, awake, awake
[04:06.16]
