Olli Olli

Big Ollie Mack came out swinging looking for a soul to fry
When the dust settled up, I said "No Sir, no, not I"
It'd been 4 years since he'd been put inside
He's gonna make all the men pay and all the women cry

Ollie Ollie, I'll come free
Ollie Ollie, I'll come so guilty
Ollie Ollie, state your claim
Ollie Ollie, state your name, your name
Ollie Ollie, I'll come free
Ollie Ollie, don't get me
Ollie Ollie, what you gonna do?
Cross your heart and hope to die
Hope your god's name's Jesus, like
When the constable comes for you

They slapped him with a rifle and threw him on the stage
He fired a shot for every month he'd been put away
Bookmaker, what do we do here?
It's hatred that keeps 'em coming, second only to fear
In the wee hours of the night, the bonfires still rage
Keep on keeping on and a martyr you will make
No talk of the cross, just drugs and bombs and gasoline
Gunning each other down, both loyal to the Queen

Sing Ollie Ollie, I'll come free
Ollie Ollie, don't get me
Ollie Ollie, what you gonna do?
Cross your heart and hope to die
Hope your god's name's Jesus, like
When the constable comes for you
Ollie Ollie, I'll come free
Ollie Ollie, I'll come so guilty
Ollie Ollie, state your
Ollie Ollie, state your

Good Friday don't seem no good no more
We don't expect peace from no gun running war
Bookmaker, tell us what you know
The tension's running high, this town is gonna blow

Ollie Ollie, Ollie Ollie
Ollie Ollie, Ollie Ollie, Ollie Ollie
Ollie Ollie, Ollie Ollie
Ollie Ollie, Ollie Ollie, Ollie Ollie

Ollie Ollie, I'll come free
Ollie Ollie, don't get me
Ollie Ollie, what you gonna do?
When they come for you

Ollie Ollie, Ollie
Ollie Ollie, Ollie
Ollie Ollie, Ollie
Ollie Ollie, Ollie
