The Ballad of Mickey McGee
Old smiling Mickey McGee
Cheated everyone he knew
As selfish as he could be
And of morals, he had few
He cheated playing poker
And he cheated on his wife
Just a real local joker
And a scoundrel all his life
One night while with a lady
Her husband caught them both in bed
His name was Sean O'Grady
Who shot Mickey in the head
Now on his wife you're gonna see
A wide and satisfied grin
Old smiling Mickey McGee
You know he'll never smile again
